A nation divided. Families in conflict. A new revolution rising. In 2061, America stands at the brink. Newly elected President Devin Cyrus , architect of the New Way , vows to build a Socialist Utopia—by crushing all opposition. Oklahoma Governor Mary Whitfield refuses to comply. Fierce and unyielding, she becomes the rallying point for those fighting to preserve the Old Way and the last embers of the Constitutional Republic. Her allies: a ragtag coalition of like-minded states, renegade National Guard, and civilians taking up arms. On the front lines, DeShawn King , founder of the militant 1619 Brigade , sees the coming conflict as long-overdue justice—a chance to remake America, no matter the cost. His father, Bishop Jackson King , a National Guard officer torn between duty, blood, and loyalty, must choose which America he will defend. As families fracture and states secede, loyalty, faith, and freedom collide in a battle for the soul of a nation. The Sum of All Our Anger: Civil War 2.0 is epic in scope—a relentless, Tom Clancy–style political and military thriller about family, faith, freedom, and the future of America.

Newly elected President Devin Cyrus is determined to sweep away the last remnants of the Old Way in America to pave the way for a Socialist utopia under his New Way policy. He prepares to forge ahead at all costs. New Way supporter and 1619 Brigade founder DeShawn King, filled with anger, is more than eager to exact revenge for generations of oppression. Meanwhile, followers of the Old Way are determined to keep a remnant of the Old Union intact and let the New Way states forge ahead without them. The problem is that it means secession. Their de facto leader, Oklahoma Governor Mary Whitfield, rallies like-minded states and Americans to oppose the New Way and preserve the Old Way at all costs. Caught in the middle, politically moderate Bishop Jackson King, father to DeShawn, gets called up to deploy in the Illinois National Guard. Our Union and way of life hang in the balance as the two opposing world views collide head-on in a final showdown. William R.
