DICTATOR is a novel fueled by an autocratic nightmare, one in which a crazed tyrant is destroying America’s democracy. As the Dictator ruthlessly tightens his grip on power, social upheaval results, sparking bloody confrontation in the streets. \tAgainst this backdrop, an unlikely chain of events occurs, bringing together a retired CIA operative, an anthropologist with an unusual specialty, and a rebellious young woman who works in a warehouse—and who may hold the Dictator’s fate in her hands. \tUnsparing in its depictions, DICTATOR runs the gamut between gallows humor and savage invective. It is a condemnation of tyranny as well as a testimony to the ominous political truths of our time, depicting the surreal and tragic downfall of a nation.
