Executive Justice

In 2025, the red states of America secede, dividing the former United States into three countries: the Confederation. the Coalition, and the neutral (white) states.

Retired physician Cal Boyd and his wife Carol travel to Orlando, Florida, located within the Confederation. They're looking for her son Charley, a CIA officer assigned to track the extortion racket created by the Russian partners of the Confederation.

The couple soon find they need help dealing with the new government and its hostile police. To them it feels like a version of the post-Civil War South, blended with McCarthyism. Their quest gets them imprisoned for espionage.

Cal and Carol's friends, led by Horace Bascom, plot to free them. They succeed in rescuing Carol, but can't liberate Cal, who is sentenced to be shot as a traitor.

As events unfold, the invasion of the white states by the Confederation leads to a United Nations intervention. The Confederation is overthrown, but there is still a lingering question: Will Cal survive?
