Overview

There are over 400 million firearms in the United States. When one of them is used to commit mass murder during a concert, this violent act sends three complete strangers on a fraught journey through the quagmire of Washington, DC, politics, the never-ending battle over gun rights, and face-to-face with armed militias as a Constitutional loophole sends the nation spiraling. All three victims seek resolution in different ways. Instead, they may find themselves in the middle of a second Civil War.

Reviews

Impetus is a brilliant and eerily astute picture of a nation buckling under strain, in a timely read that moves forward at a clip . . . Well written and totally absorbing, Leone has gifted readers with a work that holds their attention through its close look at individuals pushed into an all-out revolution and the ripple effects that follow as their decisions take hold. -Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite, 5-star review The intersection between personal growth and reactions to violence and plots, political ambition, and social change create a vivid story of fluctuating interests and ambitions which builds not just suspense, but psychological intrigue and political revelations . . . hard to put down and satisfyingly impossible to predict. -D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review Interspersed between chapters are headlines noting the various acts of gun violence that have plagued the United States over recent years, which function as a poignant social commentary on the endless cycle of gun-related violence. This book evokes a range of emotions . . . from sadness and anger to determination. It is a powerful read from start to finish. -Philip Zozzaro, Recommended review for US Review of Books
