Years of political paralysis have divided the formerly United States into the Democratic States of America (later the Chinese Democratic States of America) and Real America™ (soon to adopt a major corporate sponsor). But not before career federal prosecutor Sherman O’Day embarks on an ill-fated marriage to a Chicago TV news reader, who unwittingly puts him on the fast track to the only other job he ever coveted: Supreme Court Justice. An unfortunate combination of Percocet and pot brownies leads to disaster in the White House Rose Garden, but O’Day survives the scandal -- and a heart attack, and a near-fatal stabbing -- and ultimately prosecutes the founder & CEO of Real American Media (also the Secretary of News and Information in Real America™ ) on two-billion counts of criminal libel: one for each of the citizens of mainland China, and what now is informally known as “Blue China.”
"Hero Fed Weds in ICU" is a near-fetched novel of dissolution -- and disillusion -- on levels great and small. Through his dogged devotion to fairness and truth, to law and civility (and to a long-dead Midwestern Senator), Sherman O'Day exposes the fault in the myriad ideological fault lines of 21st-century America.
