And he’s not alone. Through underground networks, he’s found himself among a secret thousands, building an army called the Minute Men. They’re readying themselves for war to reclaim what was once America.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In the nation now known as the Democracy, independent thought is a thing of the past. The Constitution is waste paper. A conscienceless president has been appointed by the military—for life. The government has co-opted farmland crops. Citizens are divided between two classes: wealthy corporations and the destitute. Areas of the country devastated by war or natural disaster remain unchecked. On behalf of national security, neighbors are instructed to spy on one another. Exposing those who are undemocratic is law. And all dissenters are eliminated.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Durant, the chosen agent for the poverty-stricken rural Democracy, finds himself increasingly isolated and afraid. Mobilizing revolutionaries has become a dangerous tactic; the Minute Men have their own traitors, infiltrators assigned to undo everything Durant and his men are fighting to conquer. Now, the rebels have only their beliefs left to trust.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A stunning dystopian vision in the tradition of George Orwell’s \u003ci\u003e1984\u003c\/i\u003e and Ayn Rand’s \u003ci\u003eAnthem\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Devil’s Advocate\u003c\/i\u003e is author Taylor Caldwell’s “tour de force” (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e).
