Empire by Orson Scott Card

The American Empire is growing too fast, and the fault lines at home are stressed to the breaking point.  The war of words between Right and Left has collapsed into a shooting war, though most people just want to be left alone.

The battle rages between the high-technology weapons on one side and militia foot solders on the other, devastating the cities and overrunning the countryside.  But the vast majority, who only want the killing to stop and the nation to return to more peaceful days, have technology, weapons, and strategic geniuses of their own.

When the American dream shatters into violence, who can hold the people and the government together?  And which side will you be on?

  1. So is this a "Choose you own Adventure" kind of book? The kind where you choose an answer and it directs you to Page #.
