Christian Nation [View all]

by Frederic C. Rich.

In 2008 McCain is elected President. A few months later, while on a trip to Russia, he drops dead of an aneurysm. Sarah Palin is now President. Later that year, a truly horrific terror attack takes place in this country. The religious right consolidates power and essentially overturns the Constitution to create a Christian Nation.

None of that is plot spoiler, because exactly how it happens is absolutely riveting.

Read and discuss.
