Wow. Alternate history, and bad alternate history. OK, it was probably future when it was written, but it's still dreadful. Amazingly big info dumps at the start for an astonishingly improbable series of events to end up (in just a couple of years!) with the US split into waring mini-countries, through the actions of Russian secret agents, including the vice-president. Not my sort of thing at all. One star. Abandoned. No spoilers, as all that is in the first few pages!
Next up: I'd best try the other unknown (to me) from that Humble Bundle:
Freehold by William C. Dietz. After the previous one, I have a bad feeling about this, but I hope I'm wrong.
