Puppet State. Truth Wars, #5

After the fall of a brutal regime, the world celebrates what appears to be a hard-earned revolution. The streets are filled with chants of freedom, the media glorifies the "new era, " and the international community hails the rise of democracy. But beneath the confetti and speeches lies something far more sinister. Daniel Myles, a human rights advocate and former professor, begins to see the cracks.
He notices the patterns-scripted interviews, vanishing dissidents, state surveillance intensifying under the guise of national security. As journalists turn into mouthpieces and opposition becomes strangely compliant, Daniel uncovers the unthinkable: the revolution was orchestrated, not by the people, but by unseen actors with hidden agendas. What was once promised as liberation is now a calculated illusion-one designed to install a puppet government controlled by a shadow network of foreign influence, espionage, and internal corruption.
Labeled a threat to national unity, Daniel becomes the target of a coordinated disinformation campaign, hunted by the surveillance state he once trusted. With the walls closing in and civil unrest rising, he must navigate a world of thought crimes, censorship, and political betrayal to expose the truth. Along the way, he's joined by a disillusioned journalist and a rogue intelligence officer-each risking everything to dismantle a system that rewrites reality through information warfare.
Puppet State is a gripping political thriller that explores the chilling mechanisms of modern control: the soft tyranny of manufactured consent, the seductive power of propaganda, and the terrifying price of resisting the narrative. In a world where truth is treason, one man's escape from power becomes a war for the soul of a nation.
