The final battles of the Second Civil War have begun. The Federation of North American States, led by a former President of the United States, has been broken into multiple pieces. Its hopes of capturing a large portion of the American territory lie in ruins. But that doesn’t mean that the war is over or that all is lot yet. Even amidst the chaos of war, the normal electoral process continues. Terrance Rickover, the Acting President of the United States, is facing a fierce challenge from an independent candidate who is running on a peace platform. The leaders of the Federation and their European allies hope that, if they can hold out through the election, they can at least preserve something via a negotiated peace. Meanwhile, Acting President Rickover is determined to conclude the war with the unconditional surrender of the enemy, no matter the human cost. “A Just and Lasting Peace” brings Adam Yoshida’s “Second Civil War” series to a thrilling conclusion.

Is the United States on the verge of a Second Civil War? Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have said that the government that the Framers gave to the american people was, “a republic, if you can keep it.” In “The Second Civil War” Adam Yoshida, the author of the “Third World War” trilogy, tells the terrifying tale of how the attempts of certain individuals to subvert the Constitution could lead to a Second Civil War. Here you will find progressives determined to push their personal agendas, no matter the cost to the liberties of the American people or the damage done to the republic. You will also find the story of those determined to resist them with motives both noble and ignoble. A vast world-spanning tale, “The Second Civil War” features battles across the entire globe from Iran to Arizona to the streets of New York City as various factions manoeuvre for supremacy. It looks into the sort of abyss that fanatical partisanship and wild ideological fantasies could create and asks whether or not we can truly be brought back from the edge.

The government of the United States, formerly divided into two, is now one again. However, this does not mean that the Second American Civil War is over. Far from it: America now finds itself embroiled in a new and global conflict to save the Republic even as some at home begin to wonder if the entire Republic is even worth saving. Everywhere the scene is darkening. Acting President Terrance Rickover fights secessionists who want to carve a new nation out of part of the United States and align it with the European Union while also fighting for his political life. The secessionists, led by a disgraced former President, fight amongst themselves as some see in the war an opportunity for a social revolution. Meanwhile, Generals Dylan Mackenzie and William Jackson propose daring new strategies that might shorten the war. “This Mighty Scourge” is the fourth-volume in Adam Yoshida’s exciting “Second Civil War” series.
