In one of William W. Johnstone’s Out of the Asges books, this is what the so called president does. People got fed up and that is when Ben Raines and like mindd people formed the Tri States out west. If y’all have not read this series, do so.
The second book was very interesting and followed the old testament themes from my viewpoint. The fourth book in the series was fairly disturbing and I don't agree with the author eventually allowing Emil to be an ally, but who knows, forgiveness and all that.
At least Sam Hartline was finally killed off! :)
An entertaining series, but got off into some very odd tangents, particularly concerning cannibalism and mutants, but who's to say it couldn't happen? :)
