Dominion 2024

The Next Civil War

From GOOD READS review:

In this thrilling sequel to the captivating Time of Ends, the author takes us on a wild and thought-provoking ride through a fractured nation grappling with extremist ideologies.

Bill Garrigan reunites with his dedicated 2 AM vigilante friends in a mission to thwart Allegiance America, a right-wing cadre intent on returning deposed President Travvis E. Donnelly to power. The stakes are higher than ever as Donnelly manages to evade federal law enforcement and finds refuge in remote hideouts with the tacit support of sympathetic politicians.

One of the most compelling aspects of this novel is its exploration of the complex dynamics between the military Junta, striving to restore democracy, and the traitors aligned with Donnelly, determined to upend their efforts. The author adeptly weaves a tale of intrigue and suspense, showcasing the internal struggles faced by the Junta as they walk a tightrope between civil war and the possibility of Donnelly’s success.

The author’s deft handling of political tensions and ideological clashes is commendable. By painting a vivid picture of a nation on the brink, where extremist ideologies threaten to tear society apart, the novel serves as a cautionary tale and a timely reflection on the dangers of unchecked fanaticism. Moreover, the incorporation of Donnelly’s proposal for a new nation, Dominion, founded on distorted Christian values, adds an additional layer of intrigue to an already engrossing plot.
