Sometimes it only takes one spark to set everything off. TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion throws readers into this exact storm—a place where cartels, corruption, and chaos meet. But beyond the action-packed pages, it poses a question we can’t ignore: What would you do in the middle of it all?
The novel follows Charlie O’Neal, an ex-Army Ranger with a few scratches who finds himself caught in an uber-dangerous new world. He’s not chasing glory—he’s chasing truth. As he joins the Texit movement in a fictional version of Texas looking to break away from the U.S., he’s forced to deal with much more than politics.
Behind the scenes, criminal networks and shady deals are shaping the future. Corrupt leaders, hidden agendas, and dangerous alliances make it impossible to know who to trust.
Who’s leaking information?
In TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion, the real danger isn’t always upfront. It hides in the shadows where Cartels are funding chaos to keep control and powerful people (banditos mostly). There is a blackout news cartel with money, dope and influence working behind closed doors.
Let’s say you were Charlie. A man with a military past, a sharp mind, and a growing list of people who want him gone. What would you do if the threats were coming from both outside and within?
Most of us will never face the intensity Charlie does. But these are still questions worth asking. When things get messy, when the truth feels buried—do we speak up or stay silent? Do we follow, or do we lead?
What makes this story truly powerful is its characters. They aren’t superheroes. They’re smart, brave, but also human. Penny Townsend, 5 ft/10in. with rich auburn red hair, for example, is a strong and insightful analyst trying to stay safe while doing what’s right. Her courage comes in quiet moments—making choices under pressure, trusting the right people, and standing up when it matters most.
Each character brings something to the table, making this more than just a political story. It’s a human story. A story about tough decisions and uncertain paths.
TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion isn’t just a fast-paced thriller. It makes readers pause and think. Could a state like Texas really go its own way? Could regular people become leaders in the middle of national shifts?
Books like this help us explore those “what if” moments through prose. And while it’s fiction, it reminds us that big change often starts small—with one decision, one voice, one act of bravery.
So, the question stands—when cartels, corruption, and chaos collide… what would you do?
The Framers of the Constitution envisioned that state governments, not the national government, would be the main unit of government.
