Phoenix Republic, The Lone Star Gambit – With the economy crumbling, faith and family become the key to survival. A story of hope and redemption in hard times.
Following the collapse of the U.S. dollar’s, three ordinary American sisters—Kate, Megan, and Annie – each struggle to overcome personal failings as they make their way back home to the Texas ranch where they grew up, and back to their core values. If an economic collapse was not enough, Americans must also contend with the rise of a profound level of oppression brought on by a statist political class, as well as a fundamental power shift in the Middle East.
The situation is dire, and freedom-loving Americans will be gravely tested if they wish to retain their freedom and their God-given rights.
Although fictionalized for the novel, much of the action taking place in the background of Phoenix Republic comes from the news. By working with local city leaders, a former state senator, a Middle East expert from the University of Texas at Arlington, as well as several police officers, we worked to create a political thriller that is exciting and feels real. Phoenix Republic tells a story that depicts what it might feel like for an average person to face overwhelming odds following an economic collapse. Although the story contains true-to-life action and life-or-death situations, it also has gripping emotional content that will appeal to men and women alike.
