INSURGENT: BOOK 2 of AMERICA'S FUTURE by Charles Sheehan-Miles
Published in 2012 by Cincinnatus Press
Insurgent is a worthy successor to the original book in this series, Republic: A Novel of America's Future. Book One details how a fictional confrontation between the state of West Virginia and the federal government over the proper role of the Department of Homeland Security eventually leads to a very short war in which West Virginia is quickly defeated.
Book Two deals with post-war relations between the occupying federal government, its troops and the people of West Virginia and the closely monitored civilian government of West Virginia.

Sheehan-Miles switches from the point of view of a small military unit helping to keep a crucial road clear to the civilians who interact with that unit to the officials in the limited civilian government and keeps multiple story lines going, including the origins of a nascent insurgent group with powerful weapons and even stronger religious beliefs who starts taking on the occupying troops with bombs, assassination attempts and threats against those who collaborate.
It is a compelling read and, like I said about the last book, it is guaranteed to make you think.
It can be purchased here on Amazon.com: Insurgent: Book 2 of America's Future
I rate this book 5 stars out of 5.
