Patriots of Treason (1) (The Patriots Series)

The first book in the Patriot Series by David Thomas Roberts, Patriots of Treason is a riveting political thriller that brings to life the worst-case scenario of a corrupt U.S. government that sends the United States into a constitutional crisis not seen since the Civil War. A President and his administration, filled with scandals and plagued by economic woes, surprisingly wins re-election to a second term largely based on an "October Surprise" and the promise of redistribution of the nation's wealth. An assignation attempt on election night throws the United States into chaos. When it is discovered that the assassin has ties to the administration's political antithesis, a diabolical conspiracy is launched to quash the political opposition and keep the assassin's true motives from the American people. When an ordinary Texas citizen is arrested, terrorized, and held without due process, the Governor of Texas dispatches iconic Texas legend Pops Younger to rescue him. The entire country becomes captivated in the suspense of the high-stakes chess game that pits the State of Texas and the Texas Rangers against the administration and the ATF that escalates to unprecedented proportions. An exciting and fast-paced political thriller, Patriots of Treason presents a very realistic 'what if' scenario that will keep you on the edge of your seat, regardless of your political persuasion.

A nation in crisis. A president of division. A deadlocked Congress. The United States is on the brink of civil war―again. Only a courageous federal whistle blower, an ordinary Texan and a governor who won’t tolerate the shredding of the Constitution can thwart an evil conspiracy by the federal government. ¶ President Tyrell Johnson, the first fully black president, is riding a renewed wave of popularity as he runs for his second term. He wins re-election, based largely on an “October Surprise.” An assassination attempt on Johnson creates the perfect scapegoat―the Tea Party―through a deceit so well disguised that it comes dangerously close to succeeding. ¶ But, like patriots before them, some won’t stand for it. Some will become Patriots of Treason! (David Thomas Roberts)

There are possibly more explanations for the fall of the Roman Empire than for any other event in history: from the theory that links the widespread use of lead in utensils and glass with mental impairment (and hence incapacity for rule) to the sequoia tree theory, which purports to show through reduced ring growth in these ancient trees how the period coinciding with the fall of empire was one of hardship and death. The more bizarre theories are entertaining but devoid of explanatory power. The question still remains: why did the empire fall? As Christie suggests, the question is misconceived, for rather than collapse there was in the west a process of transformation and in the east the empire continued, scarcely less 'Roman' than before even though Rome itself was not a component.

The dawning of a new order casts a shadow across a whole nation. GRO, the government’s Great Reorganization Operation, is turning American society upside down as it seizes teenagers and throws them into compounds across the country. Behind the speeches and programs, a darkness stirs. Reed can feel it. Taken from his home and dropped into the compound of “The Hill” in central Virginia, he can’t escape the feeling that evil hangs over him night and day, watching his every move. Something is preying upon the teenagers of the Hill. An entire city lies paralyzed under the iron fist of a shadowy government agency and its cruel police force. Spies lurk among the crowds of frightened teens, ready to pounce at the first sign of dissidence. Fear keeps a choking hold on every soul―almost. When he makes a new friend, Reed begins asking questions and stumbles upon a different side of this dark reality―a world of secrets where the light still lingers and hope burns in the hearts of a few. It’s a strange world where everyday teens are fugitives playing a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse with the secret police. But it’s fascinating, thrilling, and it all seems to revolve around a single figure―one man―who ties Reed’s parallel lives together. Though dangerous to be around, this man seems to hold the answers Reed needs to make sense of the insanity around him. But he is being hunted, and the secrets in his past may be darker than anything else that haunts the Hill.  Caught in a crossfire of warring ideals, Reed faces an agonizing choice and a single path of escape―but is it worth what it will cost him?

When former CIA operate and Special Forces veteran Zach Turner divulges reliable intelligence to Younger that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was secretly assassinated and made to look like an accident, Younger’s instincts immediately kicks in. Although generations apart in age the two team together and begin to dissect a diabolical plot by the Deep State that extends to the highest reaches of government – including the Oval Office.
