- These are among the most shocking words to ever appear in an American novel. Set in an unimaginable post-apocalyptic future, the America of Military State is run by generals - and a place where civil liberties have been consigned to history's scrap heap.
Out of this nightmare world spring the revolutionary Youth Guards. Their goal: overthrow the military dictatorship and restore this country's founding precepts, as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Can the Youth Guards succeed? Or will the lamp of liberty be extinguished forever? Written in sweeping, memorable prose, Military State is at once a cautionary tale - and frightening look into the abyss. It's a stunning, shocking, visionary achievement.
