A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Sam Archer, a former Delta operative, is now a civilian analyst with Homeland Security. He finds clues pointing to an impending terrorist attack, but is unable to stop it. But in the process of trying, he uncovers something dark and even more threatening. Something that could tear the nation apart. The United States tetters on the brink of bankruptcy, political collapse, and possible civil war, as class envy and racial tension are stoked by politicians attempting to divert attention from their own failings. Riots break out when unemployment soars and entitlement programs are cut back. Anarchy threatens. Sam Archer’s son, David, is a student at the University of Virginia, taking a political science class to fulfill a graduation requirement. When his teacher challenges the class to propose solutions to the nation’s problems, David and a few friends take him seriously. Some of their essays get national attention when posted on the Internet. When they propose real, fundamental changes to the government, the students are joined by forces powerful enough to make it happen. The elite in Washington push back, doing everything possible to hinder the movement. When it looks like it might succeed anyway, they decide to take more direct action, putting the student’s lives in imminent danger. As things come to a head, Congress attempts the ultimate political end-run to seize power, only to discover that they aren’t the only player in the game. In the thrilling climax to The Jefferson Project, Sam Archer must risk everything to keep his son alive, while at the same time trying to convince others of a danger that threatens to destroy the country.
