"The Atlas Complex marks the much-anticipated, heart-shattering conclusion in Olivie Blake's trilogy that began with the New York Times bestselling phenomenon, The Atlas Six. Only the extraordinary are chosen. Only the cunning survive. An explosive return to the library leaves the six Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment. Old alliances quickly fracture as the initiates take opposing strategies as to how to deal with the deadly bargain they have so far failed to uphold. Those who remain with the archives wrestle with the ethics of their astronomical abilities, while elsewhere, an unlikely pair from the Society cohort partner to influence politics on a global stage. And still the outside world mobilizes to destroy them, while the Caretaker himself, Atlas Blakely, may yet succeed with a plan foreseen to have world-ending stakes. It's a race to survive as the six Society recruits are faced with the question of what they're willing to betray for limitless power--and who will be destroyed along the way."

BOOK SUMMARY (Book III): In this third and final volume, the United States of America continues to slide into totalitarianism just as the newly minted republic from the breakaway state of Wyoming gets its beginnings. Other states join the republic, but their initiative is quickly threatened. A despotic ruler emerges within the USA as that nation decays, replacing Mr. President with First Citizen and In God We Trust with a new Constitution 2.0. The USA becomes the USSA (the United Socialist States of America), and its first act is to send an ultimatum to the republic -- "Surrender or die!" The war drums beat, and the sabers rattle as both sides prepare for war. The battle lines are drawn, as conflict between the two neighbors seems inevitable. The clash of diametrically opposite ideologies is at hand, and they ready their forces for combat. In a land so long united by a common people and cause, the ultimate outcome is as explosive as it is traumatic.

Book II Summary Shea searches desperately to find her husband while the leader of the United States consolidates his power and shreds the Constitution. Meanwhile, a cold, brutal bureaucrat will stop at nothing to secure the throne for herself. This only sinks the nation deeper into despotism. Together with a former Congressman, Shea creates a resistance movement to challenge the tyranny of the Administration. Emotions run high as those who create the country's wealth are the ones drowning in exorbitant taxation, while others are satisfied standing in line for government handouts. Not since 1860 has the country been so polarized. "Secession ... secession now!" they chant. But will it come to that? In this second installment of the Atlas Series, the factions take sides, and when the ultimate decision must be made, chaos reigns. Can war be far behind?
