No reviews yet. Be the first.

It’s 2044, and the United States is in a dark place. Elections have consequences and America has chosen unwisely. The protesters are now in charge, and they’ve unleashed the enormous power of the federal government against their enemies. America’s new ruling class has eviscerated the First Amendment, eradicated free speech rights, and will stop at nothing to hold on to their power. The government has become a machine that will crush anyone or anything it cannot control.

The regime cannot control Richard Uprising. He leads a rock band that stands up against the elites and their unquenchable thirst for power. What they do to Richard is unspeakable, but what they unleash may be America’s last best hope. Join the band on their journey to freedom and find out what they can accomplish when they have nothing left to lose.

This story is a work of fiction from the mind of Patrick Silken. None of the characters in this story are real and any similarity to any real person is purely coincidental. This story takes place in the future, so by definition it hasn’t happened, but could it happen? Well, you be the judge of that...

This is a must read for anyone who is terrified that cancel culture will destroy America.
