What happens when democracy begins to fracture, when trust in leadership erodes, and when the very foundation of a nation starts to crumble? Divided We Fall is a gripping anthology that plunges readers into a near-future America teetering on the brink of authoritarian rule. Through a series of interconnected short stories, B. Alan Bourgeois masterfully explores the consequences of unchecked power, digital warfare, media manipulation, and the fight for truth in an era of political deception. From secret resistance movements challenging a corrupt administration to cyber activists exposing government conspiracies, each tale adds a layer to this hauntingly realistic vision of a country in crisis.

 

Told through multiple perspectives—including journalists risking everything to uncover the truth, citizens navigating an increasingly oppressive state, and leaders grappling with the weight of their own decisions—this collection weaves together a powerful narrative of defiance, betrayal, and hope. With echoes of real-world events and a chillingly plausible depiction of a divided nation, Divided We Fall is a must-read for fans of dystopian thrillers, political intrigue, and thought-provoking speculative fiction. If you’ve ever questioned how fragile democracy truly is, this anthology will leave you breathless and deeply unsettled.
