Righteous Rebellion

De: James Hooker

Narrado por: James Hooker

A quirk of fate has enabled the donation of a history-altering amount of cash to the ministry of a popular religious leader in a solidly Conservative state. Having interpreted the donation as a sign from above, the pastor has divined its purpose: to enable his state’s formal secession from the Union and to have their U.S. Senator appointed President of the newly created country.

The public announcement of this outrageous move is met with wild approval by the citizens of the former state and abject horror by the rest of the world, including a dedicated reporter who makes it her mission to bring down the revolution.

As it struggles to form a new nation, the rogue republic encounters a series of existential challenges, both within its government and among its increasingly beleaguered citizenry.

With its very survival at stake, it is forced to take increasingly bold risks to keep its grip on power, including an audacious gambit that pits the tiny nation against the mighty United States itself.

The jaw-dropping, chilling, and sometimes outright hilarious results will keep listeners, both for and against the concept of secession, reading late into the night.

Perfect timing with excellent characters

James Hooker has brought to life a very frightening possible future with a splash of humor every step of the way. The characters are named so appropriately that you remember each name and the role they play from their first introduction. Could this tale become reality? Could a group of extremely unqualified individuals really remove an entire state from the USA? I truly hope not, but James Hooker makes it possible. I was angered and laughed at the same time , I became very attached to some characters, especially Margaret, a seemingly self centered opportunistic real estate developer that changes this story at every turn. I found a certain loathing for Marjorie Batts, making me want to know what could happen next to make her even more evil, her story's end was extraordinarily satisfying. I couldn't stop listening until the epilog was over!
