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.
