The war has come home. The mission has failed. But all Eve wants is to get Jon back. Agent Eve Parker refuses to accept Jon’s change of heart when he loses his memory and becomes a revolutionary known as Seven. Her mission is to stop him from overthrowing the President and the Headmaster of the Church. However, when Eve learns more about the President’s plan to broaden citizen surveillance through a national ID program, she begins to question what she’s always believed to be right. Seven runs, but in his flight realizes that losing his memory may not have been enough to erase his feelings for Eve. Unable to escape his past, Seven determines that he must come to terms with the man he was if he ever wishes to win freedom.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A novel about a scheming president offers an excellent read for those who love thrillers or 21st-century history." - Kirkus Reviews

"Raises interesting questions about the influence of propaganda on the construction of the self, the idea of true tabula rasa and the power of memory ... The central love story propels the narrative energetically." - Publishers Weekly

"There are few novels I can read in one sitting, but Adam Bender's Divided We Fall was one of them. It is fast-paced, intriguing, and had me wondering what was coming just around the corner. It had me not only wanting, but needing more." - Readers' Favorite

From the Author

Divided We Fall imagines a dystopian nation in which the government has used national security as an excuse to take all privacy rights from the people. In the real world, things have not quite gone that far, but it is one possible outcome if the balance swings too far in one direction.

My new novel is a call for unity asking different sides of the surveillance issue to come together without arrogance and work on a solution that keeps citizens safe without deception and without infringement on personal privacy.

Writing this book was a long labor of love. It was crafted in the late hours after the work day and in spare moments of the weekend. But in my mind I was working on it always, inspired by news about government surveillance and my day job at the time reporting on the U.S. Congress.

This novel brings to an end the journey that Seven began in my first novel, We, The Watched. However, newcomers can certainly jump on with Divided We Fall and then read We, The Watched later to get the hero's origin story.

Previously, Bender wrote The Wanderer and the New West, a near-future western about a rogue vigilante who seeks redemption in a lawless America that fully protects the rights of armed citizens to stand their ground.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, weak female characters
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2016
Seven doesn't remember who he was before he woke up in the woods some time ago in a world where the government is always watching you and speaking out against it or the church can get you killed, but he does know that that is wrong.

Eve is an Elite Guard, the special police force that monitors suspected Heretics. She's basically judge and jury to the unsuspecting people that stumbled or jumped onto that list. She loves her job, the government and the church. She just wants her fiance John back, but the special op that turned him into Seven backfired and the government want him dead.

An interesting story of love and duty enfolds around them as Eve chases him further into the world of the Underground, those fighting the government, and realizes just how perverse things are. This is a high paced action book and great to read.

My problem, the reason why it only gets three stars? Sexism. Eve is proud of being the first female Elite Guard. Really? We have to redo women's lib in the future again? Sure the world's a hellhole in this book, but can't they do something right? Of the three female characters, one, Ana, doesn't have a personality, Talia has a lot of personality--she's all modern girl, let's be friends with benefits, then does a 180 and is crazy that John's looking at another woman, but then is super chill with things when John doesn't want to deal with her anymore.

Then there's Eve. She is super strong and smart and independent, but every now and then can't function without John/Seven telling her what to do. I'm not even sure why she was engaged to John; he was a major douche--he seriously, in a flashback, blamed her mood swing on her period and not the fact that he was being a man-child (Seven is a pretty cool guy, though).

So, yeah, great book, but the author didn't really know how to deal with female characters, sometimes falling on old cliches.

I highly recommend Divided We Fall. The pace of the story is perfect with great action, the characters are well developed, and the commentary regarding church and state is very relevant and on point.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really Enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2015
I won a free copy of this book in a Goodreads Contest. Honestly I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as I actually did. This is the 2nd book with We, The Watched being the first. I was a bit worried of being lost in the story since I never read the first but within the first three chapters I got a handle of what happened and is happening. The quick summary of the book which is provided is exactly what happens. Eve wants to return Jon's memory who is now refer to as Seven. In the 1st book, for a mission Jon's memory was repressed and he was left with no idea of who he is, he called himself Seven and became part of the underground. All part of the plan except an attack happen from the enemy and Eve was unable to convince Seven of who he really is and they got separated. The story continues from that in this Book. I found myself reading chapter after chapter,wanting to know what is going to happen. Although there were parts in the story which for me, ended a bit too soon and could of been a bit more climatic. The story is about the struggle between the Patriots and the Heretics. A divided country that is in the midst or ruin. The truth about the country is unwrapping itself and a new plan to expose the truth to the whole country is underway. A book with a bit of romance, secrets, twists, and a view of the inner workings of society is what you are going to come across if you decided to read Divided We Fall.

5.0 out of 5 stars How cool. What is going on in Facility B
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2014
Agent Eve Parker was in the limousine the Capital was being evacuated. They had been under attack. Rodriguez (soldier) asked the chauffer & Eve for ID.
The Heretic (aka Seven) & the Underground group are a very serious problem.
The Enemy also a force to be reckon with. They had blown the 12th Avenue Cathedral & the Capitol Tower to smithereens.
President William T. Drake wanted everyone on alert. He issued the Watched list.
Daniel Alexander Young (President DAY Corporation) is secretly funding the Underground. He was arrested, tried & executed for treason.

What is the microchip used for?

What is on the memory stick?

Talia (Watched) & Seven were on the run & ended up in Loganville (town). The 2 went to her brothers Shaan Williams house.
Agent Eve Parker (Elite Guard) & Agent Rik Rodriguez (rookie) were in hot pursuit.

President William Drake established the Patriots ID system to help distinguish regular citizens from the Heretics.

Instead of terrorist cells there called leaves. How cool.

What is going on in Facility B?

Who are the good guys & who are the bad guys?

What could happen to Eve?

What would Dick Randall (majority leader of the Congress) have to say to the public?

What will happen at the Head Church? Or to the Headmaster?

I read these books in MS (Jr. HS): Fahrenheit 451; & 1984.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written YA dystonia, political & terrorism book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make great dystopian movie, animated cartoon, or a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Thank you for the free book (Story Cartel, PDF)
