This is book one of the KINGS and CLANS series.
KINGS and CLANS of the Midwest is a near future novel set in the Midwestern United States. In a fast-moving story, the Characters watch the Dollar become worthless before their eyes. Without a viable currency, the economy and the Country quickly slides into an apocalyptic collapse.
Characters from various backgrounds are desperate to survive in a situation that has rapidly diminishing resources and many are ready to resort to the worst kinds of evil to get their "fair share".
Very few in this dystopian apocalyptic setting have a clue about how to protect themselves, nor are many of them preppers. They don't all talk and act the same and everything doesn't always go right for them; nor do they all survive.
Characters are all forced to join one of the wide range of colorful and often violent factions. Some seek to establish a new kind of society, and take specific, detailed steps of their own design.
Those who oversaw the ruin of the Country, led by the US President, are desperate to cling to any power they can. The POTUS illegally invites the United Nations to help Homeland Security disarm its citizens and restore order to the nation. Many of the independent minded souls of the Midwest see things differently. . .
Genre: FICTION / Dystopian

"You do everything right your whole life. You do what everyone wants. You pay, and pay and pay. You don't get to do much of any of the things you want. What does it get you? The world don't play you fair. Then the world just up and thinks that having you around ain't convenient no more," Elijah said.
Plain clothes Detroit Police officers Elijah Williams and Henry Miller were partners for many years. Since they started together they had both lost hair and added some pounds, but they were still in decent shape, for their age. They had been through about everything anyone could think of over the years. They knew how to handle anything that came up.
But today they could do no more than just sit in their parked unmarked car in a daze. Elijah could feel his blood pressure spiking under the stress. It had been a half hour since the morning shift meeting got out and they were still in the precinct parking lot wordless and unanimated because of the terrible news. There was no motivation for either of them to do anything, or go anywhere.

Author review: Miriam stuck with the project unto completion. It was a great accomplishment. I would use her on the sequel if she chooses to do so. |
