Love in Doom and Secession (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798705034826)

Delaware has lost two of its crown jewels: its precious Rehoboth Beach, as well as its gargantuan retail paradise. What can two university students, Juneau and Victor, do to save a people in crisis?

Although they succeed in creating a Delawarean-centric ideology, replete with references to New Jersey hegemony and suggestions for new language usage, it upsets corporate interests. The DuFrond company takes advantage of this movement for Delawarean independence to install a Reverend Bridge in power, a theocratic dictator who purports to represent the peoples' interests while merely promoting large companies' abilities to exploit their workers.

On the way, Victor meets an Israeli soldier, Raphael, whose nation has come to support the Delawarean cause against the Imperialist Giant of the United States of America, and the two manage to fight their own internal demons to live a brief but deeply passionate romantic love. And it is in the midst of this chaos of doom and secession, that these pilgrims try to find beauty...
