There is one man who can verify the truth.
One man they will believe.
But he is dead.
So, it falls on another. A thirteen-year-old boy and his unlikely alliance with a growing rag-tag resistance to the Pragmatist Party regime.
Americans have embraced the Comprehensive Human Digitization program with a fervor not seen since Dutch Tulip mania. Now a quarter of them are gone. Alexander Cribb has achieved the greatness sought by every world leader to precede him. His Renaissance is in full swing. The robot-powered economy continues to surpass even the most ambitiously utopian expectations. As the president argues, "Heaven is right here, right now."
There is only one threat to his reign. And the problem will not go away. It seems easy enough to kill the boy. Will they finally do it? Or will the Judas Report resurface? What happens if it does? Would it be the end of the Prags? Who will the people believe?
The options narrow down to just one. And the odds are long. But something has to be done. Someone has to step up. Everything is on the line. Millions of lives are at stake.
Only two outcomes remain: good or evil.
