America, 2024. The hunt is on for Octavian in The Superstructure, the second installment in the Uprising 2024 series. In The Octavian Latticework, young Johnny Luca and his band of agents saved President Wilkins from assassination at the hand of rogue officials bent on turning America into a police state. But Octavian, the shadowy leader of the group trying to overthrow the Republic, remains at large. President Wilkins orders Luca's unit to unmask Octavian and crush his movement for once and for all, but Octavian has a plan of his own to finally eliminate Wilkins. Meanwhile, Luca turns vigilante as he tracks down Jack Gaines, the man who murdered his father, jeopardizing the mission. Sedition roils the capital, protesters clash with baton-wielding shock troops in Times Square, and a helicopter battle rages above New York City as the uprising begins at last in Jack Belmonte's second novel.
