REVOLT
Would you have the courage to say No?
In Revolt, Ray Bourhis delivers a sharp, gripping political thriller that feels both unnervingly plausible and powerfully human.
When the citizens of Fairview, a seemingly ordinary small town, decide they’ve had enough of corruption, surveillance, and the stranglehold of corporate power, they do the they vote to declare independence from higher government authority.
What begins as a symbolic act of rebellion soon ignites a firestorm that threatens to upend the nation.
As the movement spreads, Fairview’s unlikely leaders, an idealist burned out by politics, a disillusioned lawyer, and a diverse cast of ordinary Americans, find themselves at the center of a political earthquake watched across the nation.
Bourhis blends the suspense of The Pelican Brief with the moral urgency of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, crafting a story that exposes the cracks in democracy and the cost of courage. Revolt is both a timely warning and a thrilling ride, a novel for anyone who’s ever wondered what might happen if ordinary people finally stood up and said, “Enough.”
A daring, thought-provoking, and unforgettable tale of defiance in the heart of America.
Discover how one town’s defiance could change a nation.
