The Broken Americans is a speculative history thriller (or at least used to be) driven by the question, “What if President Trump had successfully subverted the 2020 election?” Told through three intertwined storylines, this book analyzes what the true cost of a renewed American civil war would be, for the participants, the country, and the world. Fans of Colson Whitehead’s Underground Railroad will appreciate this contemporary narrative that toes the line between literary fiction and dark graphic novel, influenced by military sci-fi classics like Starship Troopers told with the grit of Anthony Swafford’s Jarhead.

 

Follow the inescapable currents of America’s downward spiral after falling into a civil war, later known as the Decimation War, sparked by a disastrous military coup. The story is guided by three suicidal Marine veterans shouldering the burdens of their violent indoctrinations into American freedoms as they search for a new, redeeming truth in the answers to their burning questions - What is family? What is love? For Oneself? For One’s military brothers? For one’s country?
