Atlas Chains: America Decline (Book I) in Bloomington, MN

Two entrepreneurs develop a revolutionary invention that threatens the government's on-going war against fossil fuels. In this dystopian future, the pair battles an increasingly authoritarian government bent on destroying capitalism and the underlying democratic principles upon which the country was founded. Bullied and tormented by federal authorities who team up with big business, the couple fight back against the great powers in Washington.
However, out-gunned and out-financed, the couple's world collapses, as the nation sinks into a dictatorship. It is only when the pair teams-up with a feisty senator from Wyoming that they find renewed courage to fight back. This sets the stage for a titanic clash the nation hasn't seen in nearly two hundred years, and one which no one wanted - then or now. Is civil war inevitable?
