The United States of America confronts the full-scale rebellion of several Southern states in the final chapter of The Klass series. Four governors stand boldly before the media and the world and announce their states have seceded from the union. Texas, Louisiana, Missississippi, and Alabama have banned together and have formed a new country – The Federated States of America. No one has any idea that the FSA is controlled by a secret organization – The Klass. Or that The Klass can deploy a new and powerful weapon to defend the FSA against any intervention by the U.S. military to stop the breakaway. The very existence of the union now rests on the shoulders of FBI Special Agent Frank Deal and the extraordinary help of four college students. Their task – find the incredibly powerful weapon, and stop it – before tensions boil over into civil war.
