"DIE HARD" meets "ER"! Named a finalist for the 34th annual, 2022, Minnesota Book award. "Insurrection" is a story of domestic terror, greed, government and corporate injustice, race, irresponsible journalists/media, critical care medicine, FBI action, and everyday people facing unimaginable conflict... Emergency physician Drake Cody is on duty at a controversial oil pipeline’s opening ceremony when an explosion critically injures a Minnesota senator and others. With the blast, sovereign citizen militia leader Tolman Freid, cruelly wronged by government and corporate injustice, has transformed his extremist anti-government ideology into terrorist action. He believes he is history- and duty-bound to take down the system, no matter the cost. Upon arriving at the ER, Drake’s hopes for saving the dying senator and other victims rise, but in the next minute, Freid and his militia initiate the rest of their devastating scheme—the takeover of the ER and revealing the worst terrorist threat in history. Can Drake and those held hostage in the ER help stop the heavily-armed, fanatical extremists? Or will those Drake loves and tens of thousands of innocent people be killed in the largest terrorist attack the nation has ever seen?
