The End of the Republic?: Treachery in the White House

In the not-too-distant future, a deep and relentless economic depression has brought hundreds of thousands of unemployed, homeless, and desperate citizens to Washington, DC. After enduring the fiercely hot summer of 2034 while camping in primitive conditions and eating in soup kitchens without seeing any change, the people have had enough—and the peaceful protests have erupted into riots.

With federal elections fast approaching, an angry electorate clamoring for politicians' heads, and civil unrest spreading across the country, the president is forced to take drastic action, and to assume near dictatorial powers.

Inside the White House, presidential speechwriter Kevin Watts is becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the president’s moves to increase his coercive powers. But it's what he discovers next that is truly shocking.

The End of the Republic? Treachery in the White House paints a startlingly real portrait of the inner workings of the executive branch during a time of great crisis. Expect the unexpected as this sharp political thriller unfolds, leaving you wondering just how strong our democratic institutions really are.
