In the near future, crime in the United States escalates to unprecedented levels. In response, televised public executions are instituted as a mass deterrent. In addition, the Bill of Rights is rescinded and the police are nationalized and militarized.After witnessing the assassination of a famous civil rights leader, former computer programmer Peter Rayne is drawn into a countrywide conflict pitting ordinary Americans against an increasingly authoritarian government. Investigating the assassination, Rayne uncovers a complex web of government lies and conspiracies that have apocalyptic implications. Making contact with the leader of an underground organization, Rayne is sent on a suicide mission in the capitol city to sabotage the city's computerized defenses. If he succeeds, an army of underground freedom fighters is poised to launch a violent nationwide rebellion. An all-out revolution pitting ordinary Americans against an increasingly corrupt and depraved power elite may be the nation's last hope to overcome the anarchy that is devastating the country.Welcome to the Second American Revolution
