It is nought good a slepying hound to wake

- Chaucer, Troilus and Criseyde

Mother Nature is finally out of patience. After 200,000 years of global dominance by the current human species, Homo sapiens, the world has never been in greater danger or worse shape. Maybe it's time for new players—stronger, faster, and smarter than the current ones. The Sleeping Dogs are those new players. There is an old adage ... let sleeping dogs lie ...; a startled beast may become your worst nightmare. These Sleeping Dogs are members of the deadliest, most efficient Special Operations unit ever. Their task is to remove tyrants, dictators, global criminals, and their political allies—permanently—if they can survive long enough to do it.

The People’s Republic of America is available in print and digital versions at all online and brick and mortar bookstores. It also is available in audiobook format from Google Play. It’s been awarded a 5-Star review by Readers’ Favorite, among others. This is Falbey’s ninth thriller and seventh in the Sleeping Dogs series.

The economy is in freefall. Inflation skyrockets. Crime and violence are out of control. Countless millions of illegal immigrants, representing votes for the entrenched administration and cheap labor for its ally, Big Business, flow unimpeded across the southern border. America’s enemies gleefully watch and plan as what was once the world’s only superpower descends to Third World status. In desperation, the American government secretly conspires with China to divide the globe between them.

Seven extraordinary individuals, dubbed the Sleeping Dogs by the government agency that originally recruited them, are all that stand in the way. Compounding the challenge is the American government. In cooperation with the Chinese, it has sent the world’s best assassins to hunt down the seven men and kill them. How can only seven individuals possibly make a difference?
