|Dedication|

This is a book dedicated to my Grandma, who never got to read this book. This is not a book for those "Content" with our world. This book is for the dreamer, the thinker, the do-er, the entrepreneur, and the sleazy politician currently reaching into your back pocket eager to locate that juicy wallet they ALL so crave.

 |Statement/My Story|

This series was derived from a series I wrote in '23 called, "The Star-Spangled Series".

"In late 2022, I was still on Wattpad attempting to make a name for myself. That year, I was approached by an ambassador for the website, Webnovel. I'd been working on a novel called "Starfall", that caught their eye and wanted to have it written on their platform. After making the transfer over, "Star Spangled Apocalypse" was born. It was originally, Star-Spangled-Shutdown, a test novel for "The Star-Spangled Series" novel series that would come afterwards. It was the first novel I based in the Starved Rock Country of Illinois and within my hometown. It was written in Sept of '22 and became the first novel I'd ever completed in Feb of '23. It is still readable and published on Webnovel. With the 88-chapter success, I began writing, "The Star-Spangled Series", in May of '23. It was the first major dystopian, action, original character novel series I'd ever written. The series consisted of; Book I: Star Spangled Freedom, ending with 118 chapters, Book II: Star Spangled Tyranny, ending with 57 chapters, Book III: Star Spangled Shutdown, ending with 65 chapters and finally, Book IV: Star Spangled Fractures, ending with 45 chapters. The series was completed in March of '24"
