The Americas Peter Joseph Searle

In an alternative history, Canada has been peaceably annexed into the United States, and there are strong hopes to seduce South America into the US Commonwealth, to bolster the failing dollar and make America the strongest country in the world as it once was. But when patriots stage a coup against a President, who is planning to abolish democracy and create a family dynasty, the doors are open to intrigue, alliances, and betrayals, as rival factions fight to promote a new American leader. -While the rest of the world scurries to takes sides WW III rears its ugly head. Amid deadly conspiracy and treason the world's greatest love affair develops. In the arms of Cloirina Braganza (heiress to the whole of Brazil), US Vice President, Max Tunney finds the love of his life - "If I had just one day left on Earth and I could spend it with you, I'd think myself a goddamn lucky guy."- Among the vices and ravages of war their love blossoms into a canker; a canker that brings the planet to the threshold of Armageddon.
