Synopsis

This provocative novel set in the not-too-distant future poses a chillingly credible vision . . . a Hispanic liberation movement seeking to redraw the borders of the United States and launch the second Civil War.

After years of anti-immigrant backlash, anger seethes in the nation's Latino communities. The crowded streets bristle with restless youth, idled by a deep recession. When undercover detectives in San Antonio accidentally kill a young Latina bystander during a botched drug bust, riots erupt across the Southwest. As the inner-city violence escalates, Anglo vigilantes strike back with barrio shooting rampages.

Amid the chaos in his L.A. barrio, Manolo Suarez is out of work and struggling to support his growing family. Under the spell of a beautiful Latina radical, the former U.S. Army Ranger and decorated war vet eventually finds himself questioning his loyalty to his wife - and his country.
