President Rodriguez says the move will streamline services, saving everyone money and reducing bureaucracy. To receive federal services, all citizens would have to carry a card (which can be tracked using GPS). The economy has been in a recession and the country is very divided over a federal ID card program. The year is around 2030, and America is less than stable. Daniel knows how to shoot a gun and is proud to be an American, even though he knows next to nothing about the Constitution.
His father was also enlisted in the military. He joins the Idaho division of the National Guard because he considers himself patriotic and he likes the prospect of a free college education. For the most part, Danny’s a typical high school senior: He likes cars (he names his truck “Beast”) and country music has a love life with his girlfriend, JoBell and is more concerned about working than politics. The military thriller opens to seventeen-year-old protagonist Daniel “Danny” Christopher Wright playing football. The book includes many fictionalized news reports from liberal and conservative sources, which provide contextual background. Its themes include political fractions, guilt, loyalty, and friendship. Divided We Fall was praised for its look at political factionalism, which is rarely explored in young adult fiction. Reedy was inspired by his time as a combat engineer in the Iowa National Guard. Divided We Fall (2014) by American author Trent Reedy follows a teenager’s haphazard involvement in a political clash between national and state forces.
