A March of Soldiers

A single act of injustice can shatter a nation.Maritza Ortiz was an American citizen, a decorated police officer, and a wife. Her only crime was driving home. When ICE agents force her off the road, a moment of confusion-reaching for her badge-ends in a hail of gunfire. The system designed to protect her fails utterly.Her husband, retired Army Major Angel Ortiz, seeks justice from South Carolina Governor Joseph Klein. He doesn't want an investigation. He wants a war. And Governor Klein gives him one, mobilizing the state's National Guard and issuing an unprecedented executive order: ICE agents are now classified as domestic terrorists and will be arrested on sight.The defiance ignites a powder keg. When the President orders federal troops to quell the insurrection, Commanding General James Madden makes an unthinkable choice, turning his forces against the government he swore to defend. Georgia's governor seals the airspace, threatening to shoot down federal planes. Virginia joins the rebellion after a state trooper is murdered. Lines are drawn, oaths are broken, and the unthinkable becomes reality.As states take up arms against the federal government, a new front in a modern American Civil War erupts. In this blistering thriller from award-winning author Jerrimiah Stonecastle-a former NYPD detective and Army combat medic-the fragile bonds of union tear apart. The question is no longer about right or wrong, but about who will be left standing when the last bullet is fired.A March of Soldiers is a terrifyingly plausible journey to the brink, where the fight for one family's justice becomes a battle for the soul of the country.
