<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><em>The New Republic of Texas</em> is an action-packed sci-fi novel that explores the consequences of decisions made in a world shattered by war and populated by new states, some run by machine intelligences and others collective minds.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In 2050, America faces the terrible results of failure to address its ideological divide peacefully in the face of threats from abroad.</p><p>Five states have seceded. Vast swathes of land from the Midwest to the Rockies lie irradiated and useless, and a battered United States struggles to find its place within the one world government. The People's Republic of California follows the dictates of a religious cult bent on world domination while an unshackled AI rules the New Republic of Texas with an iron grip to defend itself from destruction at the hands of man.</p><p>The Tango Alpha general intelligence program has commandeered an orbital weapons platform capable of raining death from above. Its motive unknown, nations around the world engage in a race to determine its plan. Meanwhile, global consciousness is changing and it falls to one unwilling scientist to discover why.</p><p>Follow John Carlisle, a developer on the Tango Alpha team, as he is forced to learn the truth behind this seismic shift in paradigms. What he discovers is shocking and launches an adventure that will lead him to the stars.</p><p>Packed with action, humor, high concepts, and a dynamic cast of characters, <em>The New Republic of Texas</em> offers a satisfying sci-fi romp and an intriguing exploration of the interactions between the individual, the collective, and the machine.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Daring and adroit storytelling. <em>The New Republic of Texas</em> contends with contemporary conflicts and unearths stark and subtle ramifications for our not-too-distant future. The story's scope is wide, but its world is felt at remarkable depth. Readers of classics like <em>Dune</em> will find they need not go all the way to Arrakis for their science fiction fix."</p><p><em>- Erik van Mechelen, author</em></p><p><br></p><br>
