"Overload (Kelly Turnbull/Peoples Republic)" by Kurt Schlichter
  
https://www.amazon.com/Overlord-Kelly-Turnbull-PEOPLES-REPUBLIC/dp/B0CK3PWJQ9/

Book number eight 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 2023 that I just bought new on Amazon. 
The author says that there will be another book in the series in 2024 
but it has not been released yet.

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

This book is set in 2034 after the United States successfully invaded 
California and occupied it.  But the occupation is not going well and 
the four star general in charge was plotting a coup to take over the red 
country.  His coup failed and now he is in a federal prison in Texas. 
But his followers in both the red country and the blue country want him 
to reunite all the states together.

My favorite caliber is .44 Magnum.

My rating:  4.5 out of 5 stars
Amazon rating:  4.7 out of 5 stars (1,435 reviews)
