Book One of the Fall of America Trilogy

By J.T. Mercer
Coming 2025 from North River Publications

After a sweeping election, a new government takes control. There are no stolen ballots, no troops in the streets. The changes begin quietly. Agencies are defunded or absorbed. Legal protections are stripped from some and reinforced for others. The rules are rewritten, not for the public good, but to serve those already in power.

Through state-backed media and coordinated influencers, a steady flow of misinformation blurs fact and fiction. Culture wars are inflamed deliberately—not to resolve issues, but to keep people divided and distracted. As the noise grows louder, accountability fades.

People still cast votes. Courts still issue rulings. News anchors still go live every evening. But the system no longer protects the public. It shields the powerful. What remains is a hollowed-out democracy, dressed in ritual but emptied of substance.

“The rules didn’t change. They just stopped applying.”

Across the country, trust erodes. Communities are cut off and blamed for their own decline. What begins as isolation turns into abandonment. In rural towns, city clinics, and encrypted networks, people begin to find each other again. Not to organize. Not to protest. To survive.

The Unmaking of America is a political thriller that doesn’t begin with violence. It begins with silence.

A law rewritten here. A protest discredited there. An agency quietly dissolved in the middle of the night.

This is not a story about the end of the world. It’s a story about how a democracy dies—by design, not disaster.

If you’re drawn to fiction that mirrors the tension of our own headlines—if you wonder what happens when power goes unchecked—this series is for you.
