Inevitable: Democracy's Demise, is an epic saga spanning over 100 years, relating how Communist China inevitably causes the demise of democracy.
In 1971, a young woman, Dai Lu, is assaulted by Mao in his office, resulting in an illegitimate child, Yi Nuo. An American diplomat, Nicholas Matthews, adopts the baby girl, unknowingly succumbing to a devious plot by a Communist agent, Zhong Bao Mei. Dai Lu, under the guise of an au pair, accompanies Matthews and Yi Nuo back to the U.S.. Both Matthews and Dai Lu become victims of extortion by Zhong and perform acts of sedition over the course of decades.
Dai Lu, traumatized, manipulated, plays a pivotal role at critical junctures in American history as China pursues world domination. Without her presence, freedom may have survived. But on the 300th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the grandest experiment on Earth, Democracy, would end.
From Watergate to the releases of deadly viruses, there seems to be no limit to the extent of China's insidious schemes orchestrated by Zhong through his puppets, Dai Lu and Matthews.
As a backdrop to the nefarious plots, both the U.S. and China are reaching to the stars. Matthews leverages his experiences to become an aerospace entrepreneur. Yi Nuo and husband, Yu Lao, a former taikonaut, transform Matthews' vision of colonizing the Moon into reality. Impeding their efforts is their own son, Shen Ming, who rises to the highest position of the land, President of the United States of the Americas. Ultimately, he hands over the country, all 96 states, to China. His wife, an imbedded Communist agent, takes the life of Dai Lu in her twilight years. This, in response to Dai Lu brutally killing Zhong Bao Mei to prevent further corruption of her family.
While freedom falters on Earth, the tendrils of Communism fail in the attempt to ensnare the colonies on the Moon and Mars, thanks to Yi Nuo and Yu Lao. Their technical innovations ensure that a new generation remains independent as Democracy provides the foundation for humankind's expansion into space.

Review :
"Maynard has done his homework, and unlike many Americans today, has actually cracked a history book or two. The story seamlessly tracks from the established past into fifty years forward along a timeline that is frighteningly plausible, leading to, you guessed it, democracy's demise." Tilmer Wright Jr
