In the third “People’s Republic” story, Kelly Turnbull goes undercover to cooperate with his nemesis - People’s Republic secret police chief Martin Rios-Parkinson - to pursue a common threat: a bioweapon that could take out both the United States and the People’s Republic.
Turnbull, who previously has smuggled people out of California and helped launch a border insurrection in southern Indiana, now sees the havoc the politically correct regime has caused in Washington, D.C. People are starving. Large parts of it are no-go areas ruled by warlords. There’s cannibalism. The government rations everything according to privilege levels, based on your level of victimhood - while saving the best, naturally, for themselves. The secret police are preoccupied with gender crimes. It’s a nightmare nation, infected by 21st century Maoism.
Turnbull hilariously tries to blend in in an environment with about 30 different gender pronouns as he races against the clock to find those importing Marburg virus into the People’s Republic. This is like Dirty Harry going to East Germany and pretending he works for the Stasi. His partner is a young federal agent, a highly indoctrinated woman with little tactical experience. Will his racist and patriarchal sensibilities lead her to feel unsafe? Will his hegemony encroach upon her? And will she get him killed? Meanwhile, the PR's bigs all plot against each other.
It’s a tall order, especially when they slip into Germany to go to the plot’s source. All Turnbull has going for him are his wits and his trusty .45. You don’t really want to screw around with a .38 or 9 mm if a bad guy needs wasting. He does get his hands on a vintage MAC-10, lovingly restored and customized by the last regular guy in the People's Republic, a former gunny who's the armorer for the People's Bureau of Investigation. (Where J. Edgar Hoover, long a left-wing bugaboo, has been restored to a place of honor because of his cross-dressing.)
