The Stealth Addition of China to the United States
by Dan Michael
terminal STATE: The Stealth Addition of China to the United States, begins a few years into the future. A secret plan by members of both major U.S. political parties is under way to provide U.S. statehood to China. The effort is being coordinated covertly to avoid any opposition from the electorate. China is a driving force behind the conspiracy.
Investigative journalist Bart Dobbins is contacted by an anonymous source within the White House and informed of the enabling legislation being prepared by the secret committee.The collaborators are scheming to quickly ram a bill through Congress that would make China the 52nd state. Bart Dobbins’ mission is to expose the coup by legislation plot and provide U.S. citizens a chance to determine their own destiny. Lives, truths, and democracy all hang in the balance, and some will be lost as a consequence. As unlikely as any such actions seem today in real life, a reality check supplemented with a little imagination is enough to make most open minded people think about the panoply of possible futures for the USA and China as they compete to control the world stage.
This is Dan Michael’s fifth novel featuring Bart Dobbins and Homicide Detective Lt. Trent.
