Overview

"""The Last Independence Day: Secession"" explores secession in the modern era, capturing the tumultuous collapse of the United States political order. The narrative gains an intense turn as domestic terrorists launch a catastrophic attack against the US Capitol, assassinating the nation's leadership. This act of terror exacerbates the political crisis, deepening the divide and chaos. Central to the story is Jon Freeman, an apolitical lawyer who becomes entangled in these extraordinary events. Following the 2022 midterm elections, Arkansas, along with other red states, morphs into a stronghold of right-wing extremism. Extremist politicians created the Red State Compact, with Arkansas at its forefront, passing the oppressive ""New Law"" that strips away civil rights, plunging the red states into a dystopian nightmare. Freeman's odyssey is that of an unanticipated hero, propelled into a battle against the ""New Law"" and the radical political landscape. His adversary is the formidable Arkansas Governor Suzy Brandy 'Buckshot' Landers, the face of the new authoritarian regime. The narrative weaves Freeman's efforts to deal with the secession of several states, fight a growing rebellion, and prevent an impending civil war. His journey is a test of his bravery and a reflection of his deep-seated commitment to his nation and state, now at the brink of fragmentation and conflict."

"""Ray Niblock's first novel paints an all too believable picture of how extremism in the US leads to red state secession and extreme oppressive laws. Jon Freeman is a lawyer from one of those states and finds himself in the middle of a dangerous conflict between a radical governor and forces trying to keep the country together. It is a fast-paced journey as we watch Jon go from a news-watching content professional with a normal life to a deeply committed patriot fighting for his life and the life of the country. His only regret is not acting sooner! I can't wait for book two!"" Amazon Review, January 22, 2024, by Marek Jedrzejewicz ""Written by an author familiar with politics and the military, this novel tells the probable story of ""what could happen"". What if Far Right political factions take over state governments and legislate their own revisionist laws? Who gets hurt, or worse? This Orwellian tale makes the point that political moderates must not be silent and must vote to ensure that political extremes do not fill a vacuum of indifference. Well written and thought-provoking."" Amazon Review, November 23, 2023, by ARbee ""What a fantastic story! The writing is so engrossing that I woke up the next day after reading it and initially thought the events in the book were real! The story draws from the political realities of the past few years and takes the reader down a frightening path with extremist ideologies becoming the norm. Jon Freeman's struggles represent what many readers feel today as the far right pushes through what were once unthinkable policies. The writer does an excellent job pulling the reader into a world where our worst fears are indeed reality, and moderates must decide to fight or accept the unacceptable.""
