About this eBook

Thomas Kanti is one of the thousands of teenagers trapped inside a dome for a cruel government experiment. He is expected to form a functioning government inside the dome by the Free Nation Party, one that will be just like the FNP to show the rest of the US that they are the best party to vote for. Tom and his allies form an Empire to try to defy the Free Nationers, but have failed in their attempts to do so. With few options at his disposal, Tom risks it all in one crazy attempt to escape the dome, with deadly consequences if he fails.

Tom's Empire is not the only government inside the dome. Several large factions, including the Twin Pines Republic and People's Federation, also try to finish the goals that the FNP set in exchange for their freedom. Growing resentment from the rest of the teenagers leads to a new government being formed, one that is stronger and much more vengeful compared to the previous power-brokers inside the dome. All of these governments bet that their strategy will get them out of the dome, but only one could triumph.

Even among the Free Nation Party there is infighting on the fate of this experiment. Both Lt. Col. Rickley and Maj. Perez wager their military careers, and their lives, on who can successfully complete Project Patriot and win the favor from the FNP.

Will any of these groups win the prize they are seeking, or will all of them go bust? Find out as the war of words and guns collide in the final part of the Project Patriot trilogy!

Ratings and reviews

What an amazing end to this trilogy! I loves the new stories of the military officers and the new government inside the dome. The ending was action packed yet believable, besides those holo-communicators. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend the Project Patriot series to anyone looking for a thriller involing war and a battle royale environment.

Nice end to the Project Patriot series. Liked to see more devlopment of the Empire and FNP characters. Feels like the new student government characters could have been introduced in Pawns of a Sinister Regime to recognize them more. Overall, I loved the action and the realism this series in comparison to other books where people fights against a stronger force.

Really cool book that finishes what happens in the dome. Love the fighting scenes and the rivalry between the officers. Bittersweet since the series is done, but I will keep an eye on what other books Francois Stazi writes next!
