January 6: A Novel

The prestigious Midwest Book Review "unreservedly" recommends January 6: A Novel "to community and college/university library collections" and calls it "essential reading for those with interest, in politics, terrorism, freedom..."

"Brewer gets inside the violent insurrectionists' heads as the revolution spreads. It didn't happen... but it could have!" - John Dinges, author of The Condor Wars

The day democracy was assaulted...Protesters at the President’s rally morph into a mob that storms the Capitol, right-wing extremists in their midst.

In halls the author walked for decades as a reporter, hostages are taken, the House Speaker among them. A horrific standoff gives extremist militias time to unleash deadly terrorism across the nation. Public officials are assassinated. Bombs ignited in malls.

National Guard units are beset by mutiny. Dams and electrical grids attacked, innocent citizens killed. Insurrectionists commandeer radio stations, broadcasting calls for revolution. Riots break out, extremists of the right and left in mortal combat. Cities are aflame.

The President, in election denial, weighs declaring martial law to quell the violence – and justify refusing to leave office...Can democracy survive?

This insider glimpse of what might come next following a disputed election is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of the country.
