Allegiance

A political aide is kidnapped and interrogated about the encrypted iPods he’s carried around the globe.

As the pieces of a Texas-sized conspiracy collide, can Jackson Quick succeed in saving the Republic–and his own life? Or will those trying to silence him prove too powerful in a world where there is no allegiance.
