✦ Synopsis

In the near future, there has been a series of terrorist attacks. With the War on Terror now a global conflict, the distinctionbetween the war front and the home front has blurred. With the Homeland at war, the old rules of law and of war no longerapply. New enemies call for new tactics.Drone and satellitesurveillance,warrantless search, universal electronic monitoring,internal passports, andabusive checkpoints and strip searches have become routine inthe emergingNational Security State.New enabling laws authorizesecret courts andindefinite detention without charge or trial.

Plunged headlong into a nightmarish world ofghost detainees in black-site prisonsis Tom Benson, a banking executive andU.S. Army veteran. Growing distant from his wife, and with his son facing conscription, his troubles start when he ismysteriously unable to cash a check. Arrested and declared an Unlawful Enemy Combatant, he endures progressively harsherenhanced interrogation as he struggles to regain his freedom and strike back.

State of Terrorexplores Benjamin Franklins timeless warning: Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a littletemporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
