Blue Eagle: Book Iii: Umbra Mortis (Shadow of Death) Robert Lawrence

Immediately after the American Presidential Election of 2008, a group of Business and Political leaders met secretly to propose an alternative to the advance of Socialism engulfing the world. The end result of that meeting resulted in the formation of a new nation on the west coast of Africa, the Republic of Equatoria. A state complete with a Governmental Infrastructure, gold backed currency, Military and a Constitution. The BLUE EAGLE Series chronicles the story from the beginning, through the Declaration of Statehood to its ultimate destruction and the repercussions that follow its fall. Although a work of fiction, it illustrates the fragility of the world in which we all live. Equatoria sets forth a challenge to the status quo that, in the end, could not be tolerated or allowed to stand. It is a sobering look at a hypothetical "Almost" told in real time. While the story is fictional, the technology is not, nor is the opportunity for something like this to actually happen.......
