Summary

In "Patrons of Terror," the fifth installment of Blaine Lee Pardoe's explosive Blue Dawn series, the civil war ravaging America intensifies as the battle lines between Newmerica and the American resistance grow more defined—and more brutal.
 
Following the overthrow of the legitimate government, the Ruling Council and their National Security Force have transformed America into the totalitarian state of Newmerica. With Social Quarantine camps operating as modern-day gulags, dissenters face imprisonment or worse. While the Truth Reconciliation Committee controls the media narrative, a determined resistance fights back.
 
When General Trip Reager launches Operation Diamondback to liberate the Southwest, the fragile balance of power shifts dramatically. In New Hampshire, the resistance known as "The Defiance" prepares for a final stand against overwhelming Newmerican forces. Meanwhile, Raul Lopez and his team mount a daring rescue of prisoners from a death camp in New Mexico, exposing the horrifying truth of the regime's environmental "recycling" program.
 
As operatives infiltrate the highest levels of both governments, no one is safe—including Chief of Staff Jack Desmond, whose assassination attempt threatens to destabilize the entire resistance. With former enemies becoming allies and trusted friends becoming traitors, the fight for America's soul has never been more desperate.
 
Raw, unflinching, and unapologetically political, "Patrons of Terror" delivers a high-stakes thriller that resonates with alarming parallels to contemporary political divisions. If you enjoyed "Agenda 21," "American War," and "The Mandibles," you'll love "Patrons of Terror."
Available since: 03/20/2024.
Print length: 415 pages.

    It's the height of campaign season, and instead of relishing newlywed bliss with her husband Doug Hollingsworth, Capitol Hill staffer Kit Marshall is busy with a tough reelection fight for her boss, member of Congress Maeve Dixon. Before Maeve and her staff—Kit included—leave Washington DC to campaign full time in North Carolina, they have one last fundraising engagement. 
 
 
 
On the iconic rooftop of a restaurant overlooking the Capitol and the Washington monument, Kit and her best pal Meg do their best to woo wealthy lobbyists for sizable campaign donations. Everyone's enjoying the evening soiree until a powerful K Street tycoon mysteriously tumbles off the rooftop. Even with claims the fall must be suicide, Detective Maggie Glass and Kit aren't so easily convinced foul play isn't at work. While balancing Doug's mid-life career crisis, Kit must spring into action to discover who killed the notorious Van Parker before Dixon's candidacy sputters, even if it means investigating Meg's handsome new beau, the victim's conniving widow, and a bicycle advocate hell-bent on settling a long-standing grudge. When a threatening note is left on Kit's car, warning her to back off the investigation, she knows she's closing in on the true story of what happened.
