Soft Liars: A Novel of The Conjoined States

In the Conjoined States, political power isn't an abstract idea. It's a kinetic weapon.

Under the Constitutional Charter of 1888, the American republic abandoned the ballot box in favor of bio-kinetic inoculation. Electoral mandates are converted directly into physical force: Representatives link forearms to generate blast-resistant legislative shields, Senators wield barometric pressure, and Supreme Court Justices enforce order through absolute molecular stasis. The founders assumed that investing magistrates with the power of demigods would elevate their character.

They never anticipated Virgil Bellow.

A television huckster turned populist demagogue, Bellow ascends to The Absolute-concentrating the raw, uncritical fury of seventy-four million votes into a single cardiovascular furnace running at twenty thousand Kelvin. When Congress convenes an emergency joint session to revoke his mandate, Bellow doesn't bother with legal motions. He brings twenty thousand degrees of thermite to the House floor.

In less than ten minutes, the checks and balances of a two-hundred-year-old empire are reduced to meat and pulverized marble.

The only witness left behind the shattered glass of the press gallery is Aiden Log: a twenty-three-year-old municipal reporter accustomed to covering sewer maintenance bonds and local drainage disputes. Stranded inside a sealed Capitol with a dying mentor's camera and a security cordon ordered to execute every journalist on sight, Log realizes there is no army coming to save the Republic.

His only weapon is forty-two minutes of uncompressed optical footage-and a sixty-year-old lead-shielded copper cable buried forty feet beneath the Potomac.

Blending the investigative dread of All the President's Men with the deconstructive brutality of Watchmen and the satirical bite of Hunter S. Thompson, Soft Liars is an unrelenting political thriller about institutional rot, the cowardice of access journalism, and the terrifying cost of confronting a nation with its own reflection.
