See now the guy; or, a monument to nations who forgot how to bleed.
Year Unspecified, America.
Power fails across the Eastern Interconnection and two centuries come undone. Daniel Rook believes the disruption temporary, another crisis destined to be forgotten beneath the weight of the next. Then his house is destroyed and the world he knew vanishes with it.
Through burning towns, empty interstates, refugee camps, and fields blackened by war, he follows a monstrous figure who speaks of revolution as necessity, violence as destiny, and history as an endless procession of blood. To some, Knight is merely a soldier. To others, a philosopher. To Daniel, he is the herald of something far older than politics.
Traversing a nation in collapse, from the shattered suburbs of the East to the corridors of power themselves, Mercy Unmaking is a darkly satirical and deeply philosophical novel of war and memory, human cruelty and resilience, and a question of whether the American Dream is a triumph over our nature- or merely its briefest disguise.
