Deadly protests have expanded to outright civil war, and Pvt. Danny Wright, high school friends, and fellow soldiers continue their fight for the newly created Republic of Idaho against the Federal government. Danny vacillates between being a fierce anti-federalist, a state's-rights supporter, and a reluctant hero who wants to go home. This confusion makes him more believable, though not necessarily a more likable character.
