Item Description

First, this speculative political thriller is a novel of ideas that deals with issues that plague us today--guns, a failed legal system, and more. In this world, as in the real world, revolving-door courts spit felons back onto streets uncaught, unreformed. Madmen and madchildren kill us with terrifying firepower.

But in the America of We the Enemy there’s a counter force. In the Pacific Northwest, the very nature of criminal justice and self-defense is changing—criminals are compelled to tell the truth in court, guns are converted to nonlethal weapons. 

There’s fierce opposition, and the president, in danger of losing reelection, aims to win votes by taking down the man behind it all, Noah Stone. The weapon the president chooses is Jake Black, an ex Secret Service agent. 

Second, We the Enemy is the story of a man.

Now a cold-blooded gun for hire, Jake lives an emotionless existence after his wife and little girl were killed. A fog of numbness in his mind smothers everything—especially the grief he cannot bear. Scoring a million dollars for taking care of what he sees as a con man is no problem. 

But the closer he gets to his target, the more he’s drawn to Stone. When a treacherous attack threatens to destroy Stone's work, Jake is the one man who can save it. He faces the question of his life—who is the enemy, Noah Stone or Jake Black?
