The Truth Against the World

By David Corbett

A country descending into civil war . . .



A young artist forced to cross a nation in chaos to retrieve her stolen masterpiece . . .



Her guide and guardian—whose past remains strangely obscure . . .



Georgie O'Halloran created an artistic and literary wonder—only to have it stolen from her and published under the thief's name. Worse, it's the inspiration for a wildly popular video game that's become a favorite among the militants seeking to transform America through bloodshed.



To confront the plagiarist, Georgie must cross an entire continent erupting in violence. Her only companion: Shane Riordan, 'Irish as wet grass,' a fiercely loyal friend with a beautiful singing voice, an oddly encyclopedic memory—and impressive fighting skills.



It turns out, however, that Georgie isn't the only one on a cross-country quest. Shane is on a journey all his own, far beyond even Georgie's imagining.
