The Truth Against the World

A country descending into civil war…\nA young artist forced to cross a nation in chaos
to retrieve her stolen masterpiece…\nHer guide and guardian—whose past remains strangely obscure…\nGeorgie 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.\nTo 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.\nIt 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.
