Texac

EXAC by Michael J. Melton explores an alternate history where Texas never joined the United States and became 100 years more technologically advanced than any other country. In this scenario, the Republic of Texas thrives independently, developing groundbreaking innovations that set it apart as a global superpower. By 1925, Texas faces a critical decision: remain neutral or form an alliance. In a surprising turn, Texas chooses to join the Soviet Union, which in this alternate history emerges as a force for good.

The novel follows the consequences of this alliance, showing how Texas's advanced technology reshapes the Soviet Union and the world. Together, Texas and the Soviet Union challenge Western dominance, creating a new superpower bloc that alters global politics. The story examines the rise of a new world order where peace and progress are driven by technology and cooperation, raising questions about the long-term effects of this alliance and whether it leads to a utopia or a hidden dystopia.
