California is breaking away. One woman has to decide whether she'll break with it...or die trying.
Set in a near-future, seceding California, Death of a Golden State is a high-tension military and political thriller about a homegrown coup, rogue National Guard units, and a war for America's future fought on its own streets.
As tanks choke the freeways, choppers vanish from exercises, and emergency broadcasts declare martial law, the Golden State becomes a battlefield where the enemy wears the same uniform as the heroes.
Colonel Chazz Silver, battle-scarred from Iraq and now Chief of Staff of the California Army National Guard, thinks she's investigating a routine irregularity.
Instead, she stumbles into a covert operation: a charismatic governor plotting secession, a logistics-obsessed general quietly positioning armor, and secret arrest lists bound for a resurrected Manzanar.
When Chazz refuses to look away, her own chain of command turns on her, and surviving the next 24 hours means out-flying Black Hawks, outgunning corrupt cops, and outsmarting men who know every move she'll make-because she trained them.
Hunted across bases, highways, and deserts, Chazz must choose who to trust: a Marine lover with classified connections, an airman mechanic who overhears too much, or the D.C. establishment that's already written California off.
Every alliance is a gamble; every hesitation costs lives.
And as improvised rebels strike tanks in San Francisco and federal forces hover at the edge of the map, one colonel's next decision could ignite a civil war-or stop it cold.
Perfect for fans of The Hunt for Red October, this is a ruthless, boots-on-the-ground coup story where loyalty, love, and duty collide under the rotors of attack helicopters-and the final order Chazz gives may save the Union...or bury it with her.
