Nos Populus

by Ian Roberts

With the end of America’s wars in the Middle East, charismatic expat James Reso returns home to a deeply polarized country. Detesting President Dennis Ward's cynical authoritarianism, James and his friends create the political party Nos “We The People.” Using mass protests and audacious theatrics, Nos Populus becomes the de facto opposition to the Wardists, while James rockets to celebrity.But when a protest ends horrifically, a depressed and frustrated James becomes easy prey for his own party's most extreme elements. And after unleashing his seething obsessions about Ward, it may become a matter of ‘when,’ rather than ‘if,’ James’ long threadbare sanity finally surrenders.NOS POPULUS is a unique blend of political satire and psychological thriller about good intentions gone very awry.
