For fans of Margaret Atwood, RED RED is a fast-moving novel that anticipates our future.


Like half of the United States, Athena is on a mission to prevent the country from being ripped apart by its manic president, who is calling for secession and has the power to tear the country in two. But Athena's mission is also intensely personal: she's known the president since childhood, she understands from personal experience the damage he can inflict and she knows how to destroy him.


But Athena also has a duty to protect her child, who happens to be the granddaughter of the president. When the president threatens to take her daughter away if she derails his secession plans, it's up to Athena to figure out how to protect both her child and the country. If the president wins at his secession game, the country will slip into a chaos it may never return from. But if she doesn't give the president what he wants, she may not be able to protect her daughter. Athena faces an impossible choice -- but she has to choose.
