“Once again, Isenthal dazzles with her quick and biting portrait of a city in turmoil, and the human face of our most intractable conflicts. Sharp, as harrowing as a ticking bomb, The New Order explores both our darkest and our noblest impulses, and the complex intersection of the two. Page-turning, thought-provoking, indelible.”

“Claire Isenthal gives you a ringside seat to a city under siege. The people of Chicago are living under the thumb of a ruthless terrorist group made up of white supremacists. The White Power Mafia group known as “REDS” holds the entire city hostage after they gain control over a cache of nuclear weapons. The city’s last hope is a courageous young woman who joins an underground resistance group that is willing to give up everything to stop the terror from spreading any further. The pages turn at a breakneck pace barely leaving you time to catch your breath.”

– John Adams, author of American Legacy Book Awards 2024 Winner of Best New Fiction, Second Term.
