Middle Ground - Part Two: A Contemporary Political Suspense Series
100 days that will determine the future of America. The countdown has begun.
When an ordinary nurse becomes the target of a relentless online hate storm, her quiet life is shattered overnight. But what begins as an isolated personal crisis soon sets off a chain of events that brings the fate of America and the entire world into the balance.
Note from the author
These are truly turbulent times we are living through, and as a European watching an increasingly polarized America tear itself apart from within, I can't help but wonder how it will all end. Is it still possible for people to find a uniting MIDDLE GROUND before it all comes crashing down? Or is it already too late?
Unfortunately, nobody has the answer to this dire question.
Only time will tell.
But no matter how it ends, one thing is for sure - the entire world will be impacted. For better or for worse.
Though the MIDDLE GROUND series and all its characters are purely fictional, I'm using it as a personal thought experiment to explore what kinds of things might happen if extreme polarization and misinformation are allowed to persist in such a wealthy, powerful, and heavily armed country.

About the author
Adria Carmichael
13 books170 followersAdria Carmichael is a writer of Young Adult Dystopian fiction with a twist. When she is not devouring dystopian and post-apocalyptic content in any format - books, movies, TV-series and PlayStation games - she is crafting the epic and highly-addictive Juche saga, her 2020 debut novel series that takes place in the brutal, totalitarian nation of Choson. When the limit of doom and gloom is reached, a 10K run on a sunny day or binging a silly sitcom on a rainy day is her go-to way to unwind.

Review of advance copy received from Author
FAST MOVING and INTENSE! I didn't realize just how intense until I had to loosen up my own muscles after closing up my kindle at the end of a chapter. It was a difficult wait for that next chapter. Alicia gets herself stuck in the middle. And drags her best friend right in there with her.
Alicia thought she was getting the better life by getting out of LA and getting away from whoever trashed her reputation online. But was she really?
Now she had just discovered a hidden military base that everyone in town either lied about or didn't know about. Now what was she supposed to do? (Book 1)
My favorite part of this author's writing is that you get to hear the MC'c inner thoughts out loud. And she formats it differently so it's obvious. So there is no doubt as to what Alicia is thinking before she starts doing.
Call CJ! Will she answer me after all that happened before? She NEEDS to answer me!
But instead of getting just herself into the deep end with Elijah and his big political plan against the administration. What does Elijah have in store for the president, Alicia and CJ? Can Alicia get herself out of this madness?
