SELL MONTANA: Novel by Steve Gilreath
A decade from now, the world will be upside down. Crazy. Even more divided than today. There is no predictable trajectory for our economy or politics other than a zero chance we will all just get along. Finger-pointing has escalated to warfare between the classes, the masses, the races, ideologies, and certainly the parties. Chaos reigns. Power brokers in Washington play out dangerous scenarios with our money and our country—and continue to spend. And spend.
Yet, amidst the frustration, life for many Americans goes on as normal. Kids still have soccer games, there are some jobs and every so often we find a reason to rally together—until the chasm created when the U.S. tears itself apart in the financial crisis of the near future causes President Dan Crowley to seek a radical solution to stitch the country together by tearing off one star from the flag–working against Congress, the citizens of Montana, foreign concerns and other profit-seekers, in the fight of his life…to save the country he loves.
SELL MONTANA is an adventurous book from the near future that tracks with prevailing national sentiments and developments—and projects interesting scenarios coming our way…
… and there’s a flying car.
In a decade and a quarter Dan, Evan, and Bullseye will meet. In a few pages, you’ll find out they are:
Dan Crowley, President of the United States who cares more about rescuing the country than power, personal gain or party;
Bullseye Magee, a Montana rancher, tourist–trap–operator, hunting guide, and town–diner regular who is as attractive as she is cunning, but uses both to hide a dark past;
Evan Morris, a seasoned guy with movie-star good looks, mostly because he was a movie star before time and Hollywood pushed him aside, who finds himself drafted into the revolution despite paper-thin convictions.
Their lives will collide right about the time the first Autonomous Flying Car takes off and the economy crashes. Can they save our country, or will they help Sell Montana?
