The Protectorate : Crown of Thorns
The future hangs by a delicate thread for climate change survivor Jack Cole when unseen forces seek to destroy the life he has rebuilt.
Jack Cole has what he wanted as he rebuilds his farm with a community in Southern Colorado, but the responsibility lies heavy on his shoulders. After two years of peace, the tranquility is crushed when their salvaging party comes under attack close to the border with New Mexico.
When he discovers the incursion was an old enemy, he fears more attacks from over the border and sets about building defenses. What he doesn’t know is that his enemy is given sanctuary by the powerful Protectorate of Texas and who seeks to expand the territory under its control with the help of Jack’s sworn enemy of Denverine deserters.
His adversary is out for revenge and seeks not only Jack’s death, but to assassinate the president and her assistant. If Jack fails to stop them, not only will it result in their demise, but a return to rule by fear and death.

Good story
I enjoyed this story. The world building is excellent and the characters feel very realistic. I forgot I was reading this tale instead of living it.
