There is a cherished myth of the new Hispanic majorities in the Southwest: an Aztec nation named Aztlan made up of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The Chinese use two highly placed American traitors to enable a politicized drug cartel. An explosive Cinco de Mayo morning seals off the southern Rocky Mountains and an invasion from Chihuahua. New Mexico, Arizona, and California break away. This new nation is created overnight. A President controlled by an evil Secretary of State immobilizes the rest of our military by executive order while accepting Aztlan’s birth on the world stage as legitimate. Deborah Stones Jackson is recovering from a Pakistani bullet in a busted CIA op. She begins working for an assassin turned pastor and a weapons designer. They are the only assets in the region who are not shut down. Like King David’s mighty men, they serve the country’s leader. But who is that leader? Are they traitors or heroes? Can they stop the evil, keeping the US whole?
