Synopsis

Marcy Lopez, a precocious and pragmatically violent Dissent grunt, is tasked to intercept the recently elected President of the New States of America, Cory Koch, while he's escorted out of Las Vegas by the Servicemen. Marcy has the good fortune of having radio support in the form of Jasper (the engineer of this operation) and Cass ( Marcy's lover and tactical researcher) as well as an intrepid knowledge of improvised explosives and only half a conscience. When the situation goes haywire, however, Marcy'll have to navigate Vegas backchannels to keep her mission from imploding. This Dystopian-Thriller takes a side-long tour of a diminished Las Vegas as the plot guns along full throttle, exploring the darkened chambers of once palatial casinos, the dinge of bordering dive bars, a war-torn DMV, and the cruelty of Nevada's unrelenting desert. Burn Card is the second entry in the Lesser Evils series, a collection of novelettes that take place in the dystopian universe established in The Least of 99 Evils. Welcome to the New States of America: Washington DC's been burned to the ground. The President is elected by a lottery machine. Political parties have turned into street gangs. The Coasts have been nuked and the flyover states have been entirely walled-in. Have a nice stay.
