LIBERTYLAND
Description:... January 6 meets Ayn Rand when former Navy Seal Carson McCready finds himself the prime suspect of the worst domestic terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11. His investigation to clear his name leads to a secret society of Libertarian billionaires who will stop at nothing in order to create a brutal society of pure capitalism.
Suzanne Dreyfus and Garrick Cripps had a passionate romance during their undergraduate years at MIT. On a lark, Suzanne writes The Liberation Manifesto, a wicked satire of right-wing libertarian philosophy. However, Garrick’s enormous ego fools him into thinking that Suzanne’s parody should be taken seriously. He believes it could serve as a blueprint for how, many years later, to overthrow American democracy in favor of the 1%. But for the revolution to begin, Garrick and his cronies know that an inciting event, like a Stateside terrorist attack, is needed to convince the public that drastic change in leadership is necessary. The plot to bring terror to US soil involves many individuals, some who will be collateral damage and some who will avenge the fallen. Suzanne, along with Carson McCready, a former Navy SEAL, and Laura Cavendish, a cyber weapons expert, are all that stand between Cripps and leadership of the country. Culminating in a violent denouement, LIBERTYLAND shows what could happen if the ideas of a madman go unchecked.
LIBERTYLAND is a departure from most thrillers of its ilk. The main protagonist, formerly a highly decorated SEAL platoon leader, breaks the predictable stereotype of the flag-waving uber-patriot. A student of the human condition, Carson McCready thinks deeply about freedom and individualism, and in the end, he has no choice but to uphold his oath of honor and battle a violent conspiracy that is fueled by the blood of innocents. The themes are timeless. But LIBERTYLAND is also timely--a work of fiction that is unique to the here and now.
