Shattered: Revolt

by John Irvin

Following the birth of the Locke Republic, two countries on either side begin the struggle to build something new out of the old ashes. Trying to keep from plunging into an anarchical armageddon, these two forces stem the tides.

The Republic of Texas has survived for so long. Now that its overseer is no longer in existence, Texas is free to govern itself as an independent nation once again--as she has always talked about doing. Mark Bennington, Governor of Texas, and General Philip Bundy lead this new order with great sacrifice and compassion for their people.

To the East of the Locke Republic, a new league is formed by the barely breathing Southern States--the Southern Federation. Colonel Stephen Hardy, his wife, and several friends join a revolution and hold back the waves of gang violence in the streets of Atlanta.

Will all these patriots be able to bring back order and stability to their new countries in this post-apocalyptic age?

About the author

Born in Oklahoma, raised in Eastern Europe, John Irvin now lives in Florida. He enjoys writing speculative fiction--fantasy, sci-fi, paranormal. In his life, he has visited at least 20 various countries of the world and considers this a blessing as it has helped shape his worldview. He enjoys spending time with friends and family, enjoying nature, and reading every book in his growing personal library.

"One of my lifetime goals," John declares. "Is to build a personal library of at least 4,000 volumes."

Having gained his Bachelor's Degree in Humanities, John went on to work in several different fields before he realized, it was writing that did it for him. He's been writing since 2004. Writing at least 10 books during high school, he never dreamed he'd be pursuing a full-time career as an author.

"I'd always imagined I'd be too busy for writing once college came along and life afterward," John remarks. "But back in 2016, a friend asked what I wanted to be doing in five years. Did I want to slave away at some dead-end job?" He always smiles with his response, "I decided, No. I wanted to be a writer."

Recently, John picked up his pen for Amazon Kindle and is pumping more ebooks as the months pass by.
