F.J. Fojo 2017. Chronicles of Secession

Annotation

These chronicles gather the most important events that took place during the stormy winter of 2016 and 2017, along with the actions and destinies of some of the most relevant characters that participated in them. They all move in the setting of a shift of government in Washington and a world where the most diverse and controversial interests stir; political fiction with the hints of possibility. Real and imaginary characters take part to give life to the plot that cannot cease from being feasible, just for being novelistic. Let us remember that the United States had, in its territory and amongst brothers, one of the bloodiest civil wars in the history of humanity. It served, among other things, to eliminate slavery and increase the power of the industrial north. It was a war that ended with the crushing and humiliating defeat of the Confederacy, but not with the latent and ever-present desire for secession. Politics, intrigue, money, betrayal, diplomacy, violence, cowardice, bonds of friendship, hate, pride, weapons, egos, and racism. The ingredients of todays world and also, surely, of the futures.
