American War

Lauded with the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for Literary Fiction and shortlisted for both the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction and the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Science Fiction Book of the Year, "American War" presents a chilling vision of a nation torn asunder.

The year is 2074, and the United States finds itself embroiled in a second Civil War. At the heart of this harrowing tale is Sarat, a young woman whose world has been shattered by conflict. Robbed of her father and home, and fed a steady diet of deception, Sarat's existence becomes a brutal struggle for survival. Though she didn't ignite this conflagration, she's determined to be the one to extinguish it.

In this gripping debut, Omar El Akkad paints a dystopian portrait of a future America, ravaged by internal strife and a devastating plague. With surgical precision, he dissects the potential consequences of a nation turning its most lethal policies and weaponry upon itself. "American War" is not merely a novel; it's a stark warning, compelling readers to contemplate the fragility of peace and the dire ramifications of unchecked conflict.
