Confederacy of Fear

By Blaine Pardoe

In a fractured America torn apart by civil war, the line between hero and villain depends on which side you're on.
Five years after "The Fall," the United States has splintered into two nations: America and Newmerica. As the fledgling American government fights to restore democracy, Newmerica's authoritarian regime tightens its grip through propaganda, surveillance, and brutal enforcement.

When Raul Lopez, a former Youth Corps member turned freedom fighter, is captured by Newmerica's forces, he becomes a pawn in a deadly game of political chess. Meanwhile, Colonel Trip Reager, dubbed "Bloodbath" by his enemies, launches a daring campaign to reclaim Atlanta from Newmerica's control. As resistance movements mount guerrilla operations in New Hampshire, former legislator Grayson Steele hunts for those responsible for his daughter's murder.
With operatives and spies embedded on both sides, loyalties blur and shift in a landscape where truth is weaponized and fear is the most effective tool of control. When Raul's allies mount a desperate rescue operation, they set in motion a chain of events that could either reunite the nation or plunge it further into chaos.

"Confederacy of Fear" is a pulse-pounding thriller that explores the fragility of democracy, the price of resistance, and what happens when Americans are forced to choose between security and freedom. In this new civil war, the most dangerous enemy may not be the one across the battlefield, but the one you trusted at your side.
