Estados Unidos/United States.
Seductive and controversial, Estados Unidos/United States pulsates with passion, intrigue and political ambition as financial titans clash over US-Mexican immigration policies. Skillfully interweaving historical fact with events and characters of their own invention, Klines' sweeping first novel probes the potential for an ambitious union between the United States and Mexico. Constructed by an actual US Senator, an act known as the Dow amendment prescribes proposed conditions outlining changes to US immigration laws. As the political, financial and emotionally charged ramifications of such a proposal unfold, they reveal a saga of betrayals, greed and impassioned hope. Estados Unidos/United States focuses on three formidable characters: the wealthy and influential Esteban Sanchez, his brilliant, captivating son, Carlos, and the woman Carlos loves, Janet Graham, whose goal is to reach high political office. While Esteban and Carlos work separately behind the scenes to implement border-cracking legislation for an ambitious union between the U.S. and Mexico, other forces come into play: "The moment had arrived. Time to begin the beguine. How the world would dance! Regrettable, even painful, the pilot lamented, the numbers that would be sacrificed. Yet as Spartacus and Bolivar, Joan of Arc and George Patton knew, only slaughter could galvanize a government, so slaughter it would be."
