The Fall of America, The Great

America does not fall in a single day.It begins in a classroom.In the autumn of 2008, Cole Merritt is a senior at Shoreline Redeemer Academy, a small Christian school in New Jersey where politics, faith, friendship, and first love all seem urgent in the way only high school can make them. Cole is opinionated, restless, and certain that something about presidential candidate Kareem Al-Rashid does not add up. His best friend Danny has the data to prove the election is stranger than it looks. Avery Holt, the girl Cole has loved since junior year, sees through him better than anyone.Then January comes.With seven words, a newly elected president seizes power. The Constitution is suspended. Congress is dissolved. Public faith is outlawed. Schools are restructured. Ordinary life becomes a performance of obedience, and the students of Shoreline Redeemer learn how quickly a nation can be dismantled when the people doing it have planned ahead.What begins as a coming-of-age story becomes something far larger: a fight for faith, memory, country, and the people worth saving when the world breaks apart.From a New Jersey classroom to the halls of Westminster, from underground resistance networks to the ruins of a divided America, Cole and Avery are pulled into a destiny neither of them asked for—and a war that will define generations.The Fall of America, the Great is a sweeping political thriller about tyranny, loyalty, love, faith, and the terrible cost of rebuilding what should never have been lost.
