Dystopian America

In an America where the government is at the mercy of multinational corporations, where drug gangs terrorize entire cities, where only the wealthy receive police protection, and where the poor toil in cold and damp underground tunnels not for money, but for temporary relief from the draconian interest rate on their ever increasing debt... One man comes forward. And with the help of a media wizard, a genetic engineer, a renegade computer hacker, and a deeply troubled military genius, incites a revolution that propels him into the national spotlight.

The year is 2034. Protected by a massive force field, the United Peoples of America, a separatist nation of 100 million citizens of California, Oregon, and Washington, thrive as the most harmonious utopia in human history. To the east, Donald Jesus Trump, in his fifth term as president for life, presides over a menacing kleptocracy that has been renamed the United Enterprises of America.

America, one century on: a warmer climate is causing vast movements of people. Droughts, floods and hurricanes force entire populations to simply abandon their homes. Tensions are mounting between North and South, and some Northern states are threatening to close their borders against homeless fellow Americans from the South.

It’s 1985 in The Territory and it always will be. It’s so cold you can’t feel your feet and from here the outside world is just a dream, but two humans and one animal will show us the way. They’re each searching for someone, a woman who washed up on the shores of this far-flung town and then disappeared. To find her they will have to look deep into the darkness that lies at the edge of love. Heartbreaker is an astounding feat of imagination with its own riotous rhythm and the resounding message that humanity can be found in the wildest of places.
