The Thin Line Between Patriot and Pawn

In Jason Hill’s Even the Sun Will Die, truth is as dangerous as any bullet. Tony Collyns is pulled into a web of political deceit that challenges his loyalty, his values, and his sanity. As he uncovers betrayals from the highest echelons of power, he is forced to ask: Who really benefits when the truth is buried?

This is where Hill’s novel hits its sharpest edge. It’s a political thriller, yes—but it’s also a brutal commentary on how governments weaponize truth and loyalty. Tony, once a patriot, now finds himself discarded like a pawn, his sacrifices buried beneath classified files and strategic spin.

This mirrors real-world stories of whistleblowers, black ops soldiers, and intelligence contractors whose lives unravel once they are no longer “useful.” Hill doesn’t just entertain; he educates—subtly, but powerfully. He reminds us that democracy is fragile, and those who protect it can often be the most expendable.

For readers fascinated by political corruption, covert operations, and the search for personal agency in a machine built for silence, this novel cuts deep. Tony isn’t just fighting for his country anymore. He’s fighting to reclaim his humanity from the very system that stole it.
