"Collapse (Kelly Turnbull/Peoples Republic)" by Kurt Schlichter
  
https://www.amazon.com/Collapse-Kelly-Turnbull-Kurt-Schlichter/dp/173419930X/

Book number four of an eight book alternate history series.  I read the 
well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback 
published by Kurt Schlichter in 2019 that I just bought on Amazon.  I am 
now reading book number five in the series (which is a prequel) as I 
have purchased several of the books now.

In an alternate universe, the USA split into two countries in 2022: the 
People's Republic (the west coast and the northeast) and the United 
States (flyover country).  Initially people can cross the lines easily 
but that gets more difficult as the years go on.

In 2032, the People's Republic has been selling old US Navy ships to 
China to pay off some of their debts and buy more food for their 
starving populace.  But now they are selling the USS Teddy Roosevelt, a 
nuclear powered aircraft carrier, and the USA cannot allow that.  So the 
USA sends Kelly Turnbull fix the situation.

My favorite caliber is .44 Magnum.

My rating:  4.5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating:  4.8 out of 5 stars (3,145 reviews)
