Enginewitch is a diatribe masked as a sci-fi novel. It is based on current events that add new fodder daily (and much faster than can be digested). The Enginewitch is Shiloh Alderman, a young woman who can control electricity with her mind. She is recruited into the CIA where she is drawn into a daring plot. The president's total lack of government experience, clueless foreign policy, incessant lying, disregard for law, and delusional tweets have marked him as America's greatest security risk according to an analysis by the intelligence agencies. Their conclusion that America will soon be either at war with China, or embroiled in a civil war. An act without precedent is called for. Enter the Enginewitch, who faces a terrible conflict between patriotism and personal belief. Her decision can save or doom the country.
