The provocative, incendiary military thriller — now in paperback!

Danny Wright never thought he'd be the man to bring down the United States of America. In fact, he enlisted in the Idaho National Guard because he wanted to serve his country the way his father did. When the Guard is called up on the governor's orders to police a protest in Boise, it seems like a routine crowd-control mission ... but then Danny's gun misfires, spooking the other soldiers and the already fractious crowd, and by the time the smoke clears, twelve people are dead. The president wants the soldiers arrested. The governor swears to protect them. And as tensions build on both sides, the conflict slowly escalates toward the unthinkable: a second American civil war.With political questions that are popular in American culture yet rare in YA fiction, and a provocative plot that asks what happens when the states are no longer united, Divided We Fall is Trent Reedy's very timely YA debut.

      With the talented Andrew Eiden and an ensemble of other actors narrating, this novel makes the most of the audiobook format. High school senior Danny Wright's National Guard unit is called in for crowd control at a protest in Boise, and Danny's gun accidentally fires. Twelve people end up dead, and the state of Idaho verges on civil war with the U.S.A. Narrator Eiden's performance is excellent as he conveys Danny's anguish and the belligerence of the men in charge as well as a mother's concern and a teen girl's longing. The other voice actors are uneven in their performances. But using them to let listeners hear the "news" of the brewing civil war on radio broadcasts and in protest songs adds verisimilitude to the idea of a war fought on U.S. soil.
