Ashes of the Republic - Paperback

by Robert Puster (Author)

WHEN PATRIOTISM BECOMES A CRIME, REBELLION IS A DUTY.

In a nation suffocating under government lockdowns and media censorship, U.S. Air Force Major Elise Maddox is a decorated A-10 pilot haunted by the missions she is ordered to fly against her own people. When her warplane is shot down during a sortie over the Arizona highlands, she awakens not in the hands of her comrades, but as a captive of the very "domestic terrorists" she was sent to eradicate.

Led by a reluctant history professor and a steadfast pastor, this small band of survivors challenges everything Elise has been taught to believe about duty, patriotism, and the true nature of the enemy.

A soldier torn by conscience. A rebellion desperate to survive.

Now, as the government's most ruthless operator launches a brutal campaign to erase all dissent, Elise must reconcile her sworn duty with her conscience, while the rebels must decide if their high-value prisoner is a potential weapon or a Trojan horse sent to destroy them from within.

Ashes of the Republic is a gripping, high-stakes military thriller perfect for fans of dystopian fiction, political conspiracies, and alternative history.
