The Duck Springs Defiance : A Novel of the Next Civil War - Peter S. Adler

The United States is barreling toward a second Civil War. Washington, DC is under an orchestrated attack by militias intent on changing everything. The president is assassinated, cities are on fire, and the country is descending into chaos. In Seattle, Daniel Goldman packs up his brother's old Karmann Ghia with camping gear, books, and supplies, and retreats from the city. Reeling from a shattered legal career, a bad marriage, and occasional PTSD, he drives to a cabin near a quirky community called Duck Springs. His plan is to escape into the wilderness, where he can read, hike, contemplate his future, and ruminate on the absurdity of it all. Unexpectedly, he also finds love. But the country's troubles are not restricted to cities, and soon tiny Duck Springs is surrounded by rogue troops who have a specific reason for attacking this small town . . . The Duck Springs Defiance is a tale of community, resistance, and redemption.�
