In Greater America, no one has to face uncertainty alone. Every need has a system. Every citizen has a place. In Greater America, your faith compliance score decides whether you eat, whether you're treated, whether you're "relocated" — and sixty-four stars fly over a nation that has learned to call its cruelties virtues: sacrifice, purity, obedience, faith. The non-compliant are cleared. The unworthy are sorted. The powerful buy their way into eternity.
Alan built the machine that does the sorting. He didn't believe in it — he built it anyway. Then came Clara: a poet, a healer, a quiet weapon against a system designed to erase her, who made him want to build something that didn't end in fire. He promised her he'd never build monsters.
He already had.
Poor Camp is the story of a nation that wrapped its worst instincts in the flag and the cross — and the man who built its machine, forced to reckon with what he made.
