In a corrupt America reeling from an economic collapse, a shadow civil war is gathering. On one side is James Sands, a billionaire and government crony harassed by civil opposition and armed militants. Standing against him is Lando, a twenty-something urban guerrilla, who leads the Army of the Republic on a campaign of bombing and assassination in the streets of Seattle. As Lando struggles to save the country, each step he takes drags his group deeper into violence and anarchy. "The Army of the Republic" is both a gripping page turner and a novel of ideas about what it means to live in a democracy.
