Freedom is never free. From Beijing to Arizona, from Florida to New York and the open Atlantic, the national crisis depicted in Alea Jacta Est has reached the boiling point. America is in free-fall and threatens to pull the rest of the world into a global dark age. A dangerous power vacuum is exposed when the un-elected President attempts to bring stability to his beleaguered nation by making a dangerous deal with the United Nations. While political intrigue threatens to destroy the country, what's left of the military is locked in a desperate struggle to defend the Republic as private citizens, forced to take the fight to the enemy, unleash unexpected consequences that only the bold will survive.
