About The Book: 2084
Recent Reviews: “Here's a nightmare for you. Its 2084 and the United States has become a neo-theocracy headed by Supreme Court Justice Everett Huston. Civil rights are nearly gone and its up to a small group of rebels to fight for freedom. You'd be wrong to assume this is common sci-fi scenario, or simplistic thriller. Durer's prose has a cultural depth that escapes so much modern literature . . . It’s a story of people as much as principles, and its an enriching look at the precipice we seem to be careening toward.”

In the year 2084, during the aftermath of WWIII, Japan and America arise as the globe’s sole superpowers. Ultimately they form one country—Amernipp—and possess power unparallelled in history. With limitless might, the rulers of Western Amernipp, formerly the United States, abolish the Constitution of 1787 and form a theocracy under the control of Supreme Court Chief Justice Everett Huston.
As Huston’s reign progresses, freedom quickly fades away, replaced by strict policing of virtually every aspect of life, especially morality and sexuality. But in Wyoming, a hero emerges, determined to stop the corrupt government through an old-fashioned grassroots movement.
As Chief Justice Huston begins a frightening mental descent, underground rumblings blossom into full-scale rebellion. But can the new insurgency stop a madman before he unleases the world’s most powerful weapon on his own people?
