Thirty years in the future, the autocratic president of the new United States, George Tower II, invades the breakaway Republic of American States to reunify the nation and move one step closer to world domination.
General William Story, a US defector, leads the ROAS Army of Defense as it battles against Tower and the overwhelming military might of his government. The general knows that if Tower’s forces prevail, one of the last bastions of liberal democracy will cease to exist, and his life will be forfeit. 
As the armies collide in Mesquite, Nevada, infantry squad leader Staff Sergeant Lisa McMichael and other front-line troops struggle for survival and supremacy on the battlefield. Unbeknownst to them, behind the scenes, advanced artificial intelligence controlled by the ROAS is the ultimate prize and might hold the key to victory.
Political and military leaders, common soldiers and citizens, all must make life-and-death decisions that extend beyond their moral boundaries. Tensions will rise as emergent technologies threaten to change the landscape of war itself.
In this clash of powers, who will win, and what will the future hold?
