The House of War

by Carlos Carrasco
No reviews yet. Be the first.

America is on her knees! The once-great nation has been reduced to an economically crippled, terror-plagued, third-world country. Extremism rules the day. Demonstrations erupt into riot at the drop of a slur. The people are desperate. Blocs of states threaten secession while the government desperately tries to hold the country together.

America’s enemies, sensing their opportunity, close in for the kill.

One man rises out of the chaos with a vision for the future. Is he a hero or a villain, savior or mad man? Will his plan save the republic or set Americans against each other and the world, bringing doom down on everyone in one cataclysmic clash of civilizations?

Joe Corelli, an analyst for the NSA, fears the worst when he is hurled beyond the safety of his office cubicle and into the clutches of religious fundamentalists orchestrating the most ambitious coup in human history. Together with FBI Agent Annie Cooper and Freshman Congressman Lamar Reed, the trio find themselves up against a movement, the likes of which, the world has not seen in a thousand years, a movement that could alter the world overnight and threatens to dominate history for the next millennium.

The House of War is a ticking time-bomb of a political thriller set in a not-too-alternate timeline with a prophetic, fast-paced plot plucked from today’s headlines.
