The army of the republic

The army of the republic

Stuart Archer Cohen's controversial new novel, The Army of the Republic, (St. Martin’s Press) is set in a near-future United States where economic collapse and a one-party "democracy" has spawned a violent backlash.

The book centers around Lando, a Seattle urban guerrilla devoted to violent resistance, Emily, a political organizer in Seattle, and James Sands, a billionaire and government crony. Critics have called the book "brilliant," "terrifying," and "treasonous."

His previous two novels, Invisible World and 17 Stone Angels, have been translated into 10 languages.
