Renaissance Corporation

Buried deep beneath a Colorado mountain range, operating in total secrecy, Renaissance Corporation has been rapidly pushing the frontiers of technology beyond anything most of us can imagine. Suddenly, violently, a well-armed and organized insurrection is launched when Congress threatens Second Amendment rights. New recruits to Renaissance, Brad Hutchins and his wife Martha, quickly become part of the Renaissance team, which includes an Artificial Intelligence named George, Brad's former Special Forces commander Gary, and many others.
The Corporation puts it's ultra-advanced computer skills to work, and soon learns just how corrupt the oligarchy that is ruling the U. S. has become. Realizing the U. S. is no longer worth defending, it joins forces with the insurrectionists. The leader of the insurrection, a former Senator from Texas Tom Woolridge, has bigger plans than hit and run attacks on politicians and corrupt law enforcement.
Woolridge realizes that a violent insurrection has little chance of success, so he has been organizing Texas to secede from the Union. With a state of their own those who love freedom can battle the growing tyranny of the U. S. oligarchy on even terms. Renaissance agrees to ally itself with Woolridge and Texas, and uses its technology to blunt any U. S. military action against the new Republic in order to gain valuable time for the new nation to find its footing.
But the U. S. oligarchy is desperate to maintain control - its leaders have been secretly in bed with China for years, and call on its Chinese partners to crush the new Republic. China sees an opportunity to dominate the world, but Texas and Renaissance Corporation have other plans as the battle is joined with naval forces in the Pacific. Violent and intense, this action thriller, is set in the future but rooted in today's politics.
Both sides use advanced weapons and technology to decide whether our future lies with a free Republic of Texas or a corrupt Chinese CCP and U. S. oligarchy.
