Like David Baldacci, Vince Flynn and Brad Meltzer, author Ray Bourhis turns political intrigue on its head in his latest political thriller REVOLT: The Secession of Mill Valley, which pits a small northern Californian town against the rest of America as they lock horns with Washington D.C. and our broken political system. What might have been considered unthinkable just a few shorts years ago – a ballot initiative to secede from the United States -- is now making very real headlines throughout the country.

Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, it is clear that our government is broken beyond repair. Big Brother is now a reality, the IRS is conducting political audits, and hard-core partisan politics -- on both sides of the aisle -- have created a Kangaroo Congress -- bought-and-paid-for by big business and special interest groups.

Have you had enough? Bourhis' protagonist, Sean Cogan, has, and dares a small town to walk away from the United States in this fast-paced, well-balanced, suspenseful, and thought-provoking novel. Will they be the first Americans to declare their independence and to take whatever non-violent steps may be necessary to secure that independence?

Whatever your political persuasion, you just might change your mind after reading REVOLT: The Secession of Mill Valley.
