When insurgency tears through six American cities in the first year of his presidency, Marcus Halloway faces a choice no briefing prepared him for: name the enemy, and risk being wrong in front of a nation already primed to believe the worst, or stay silent, and let the silence get filled by people far less careful with the truth than he is.
As the crisis spreads, from a checkpoint tragedy in Denver to an attack on the grid, from a refugee crisis at the border to a standoff that pulls in Moscow and Beijing, Halloway has to weigh every word against what it will cost the people living inside it. His wife, Renata, watches him become someone she recognizes and doesn't. His closest advisors split over how much a constitution can bend before it breaks. And through it all, a podcast historian keeps circling back to two words, useful idiot, insisting that understanding them might be the only thing standing between the republic and whatever comes next.
Dark Cities, Red Fields is a political thriller about the year democracy nearly lost the argument with its own fear, and about the people, powerful and ordinary alike, who refused to let it.
