In a world screaming about faith & freedom, one man’s silence is the loudest rebellion.
Dan Clymer is a national hero. His face is on cereal boxes. His name is stamped on the newest drone fleet. From behind a screen, he delivers remote strikes on what’s left of America’s destroyed cities, earning Patriot Points and televised praise. The war is almost over—or so they say.
Then Sarah Bishop walks into his celebration, brought by a lovesick colleague, asking the wrong questions. About the regime. The war. Dan’s role in all of it.
Within days, he’s branded a traitor and hunted by the very drones that made him famous. As the government scrambles to contain the breach, Dan must decide whether to vanish quietly or become the symbol they never meant to create.
Valor Flakes is a haunting dystopian novel about state violence, manufactured memory, and the price of complicity.
Readers of Station Eleven, Severance, Never Let Me Go, and The Warehouse will appreciate this slow-burn, character-driven narrative of a hauntingly plausible near future shaped by the forces already fracturing our present.
