"Survivors": The Premise


The 2nd Mexican-American War will take place in 2090-2100.
What would you do if it happens now? That’s the driving force behind my novel “Survivors”.
More updates to come.

The 2nd MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR and Latino-American Rebellion will take place in 2090-2100. I based this conclusion on the analysis of George Friedman, CEO of Strategic Forecasting, Inc. and author of “The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century” (please see www.stratfor.com).

According to Mr. Friedman’s projections “by 2060, after thirty years of policies encouraging immigration (the U.S. will actually encourage immigration of Mexicans into the country)…areas that had been around 50 percent Mexican will become almost completely Mexican and areas that had been 25 percent Mexican will move to over half…the borderland (Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Utah) will become predominantly Mexican”.

There are many geopolitical factors and triggers that would result in Mexico challenging the U.S. in 2090-2100. I will not spoil it for you, just read Mr. Friedman’s book.

But here are the facts:

Hispanic Americans By the Numbers
From the U.S. Census Bureau
by U.S. Census Bureau

Population
53 million
The Hispanic population of the United States as of July 1, 2012, making people of Hispanic origin the nation's largest ethnic or racial minority. Hispanics constituted 17 percent of the nation's total population.

1.1 million
Number of Hispanics added to the nation's population between July 1, 2011, and July 1, 2012. This number is close to half of the approximately 2.3 million people added to the nation's population during this period.

2.2%
Percentage increase in the Hispanic population between 2011 and 2012.

128.8 million
The projected Hispanic population of the United States in 2060. According to this projection, the Hispanic population will constitute 31 percent of the nation's population by that date.

2nd
Ranking of the size of the U.S. Hispanic population worldwide, as of 2010. Only Mexico (112 million) had a larger Hispanic population than the United States (50.5 million).

65%
The percentage of Hispanic-origin people in the United States who were of Mexican background in 2011. Another 9.4 percent were of Puerto Rican background, 3.8 percent Salvadoran, 3.6 percent Cuban, 3.0 percent Dominican and 2.3 percent Guatemalan. The remainder was of some other Central American, South American or other Hispanic/Latino origin.

The Heroine


Between trying to survive two years of the Mexican Flu Pandemic, Great Starvation and Latino Rebellion one would think that a teenage girl won’t have any room left in her head to worry about boys; but it is exactly the dilemma where Crisa found herself in, torn between Christopher, the ruggedly handsome childhood friend, and Nathaniel, the sweet and dashing US Army Lieutenant posted in town. Fighting off Raiders is easy. Figuring out love is hard.

The 2nd Mexican-American War will take place in 2090-2100.

Just a Quick FYI from the Author

My name is RG and this is my finished book—“Survivors”. In the coming months I will shamelessly promote my work. I apologize in advance. “Survivors” is a four-part book series. It is the precursor to my other series “Saviors”. I am not exaggerating when I say that the message of my work is really important for America’s children to know. The 2nd MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR and Latino-American Rebellion will take place in 2090-2100. I based this conclusion on the analysis of George Friedman, CEO of Strategic Forecasting, Inc. and author of “The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century” (please see www.stratfor.com). 

I’m intending to donate the royalties of my first book to charities that would help public schools here in the U.S. and in the Philippines. Hopefully that would give me opportunities to tour schools here in the U.S. and spread my message of tolerance. Depending on the success of the rest of the books I will also donate portions of the proceeds to a good cause. I’m currently looking for Non-Profit Organizations that I could collaborate with. Any suggestions and help to ensure the success of the books and the charity work are greatly appreciated. If you’d like to help in anyway please do not hesitate to contact me at www.survivorsnovel@gmail.com


Announcements will be posted in the coming months. Thank you.
