Jeff Shear writes the alt-espionage series, The Jackson Guild Books, about a Congressional aide turned spy in a demi-dystopian America reeling from a nuclear attack that decapitated the government. Guild lives in an alternate future beginning in an alternate past, September 28, 2009, as the world teeters toward war with Russia, a time made more treacherous by the influence of a powerful American family bent on creating a fascist state.
