The first volume of "The Identity Wars" was a new type of dystopian novel based upon the actual society we live in today. It portrayed a vision of the year 2035 which arose directly out of the identity politics that already rules over us. It looked twenty years into the future and depicted a society which had been shattered by an economic collapse combined with all the ethnic, religious, and gender divisions of the 21st century. It was a nightmare future that could so easily come true.
In this second volume author JP Tate takes the vision another twenty years beyond that, to the year 2055. It is a nihilistic world of violence and sexual exploitation in which contrary values fight for dominance. In this story three very different groups of people from three very different cultures are caught up in a desperate chase across the country, racing through a society torn apart by multicultural diversity.
A gangster and his two lovers are on the run from the Balkans Mafia in London. With a small fortune in gold jewellery and Yuan-bit, the global Chinese e-currency, the gangster is looking for a place where he can enjoy a safe and hedonistic retirement.
Two brothers, both devout Muslims, are in pursuit of the woman who has dishonoured their family. They will hunt her down no matter where she runs or where she hides. They are strong in their faith and resolved to restore their honour even if it costs them their lives.
Two troopers from the paramilitary wing of the GenZ are in pursuit of the white child who is travelling with the two Muslims. With no one else to protect her, these two troopers are determined to rescue the child come what may.
Like its predecessor, this second novel in the series is profoundly relevant to the character and events of the society we already know so well. Both frightening and intriguingly plausible, it is full of fascinating conjecture about the future. It is a future that does not seem so very far away when you watch the news and see the civil unrest taking place all over Europe. It is a future that some of us may live to see for ourselves.
