Product description
American taxpayers begin disappearing….
Senator Cybil Pharell wants the Presidency. Badly. She’s connected and powerful, and she’ll do anything, including using a very secret Washington phone number to reach a mysterious man who “gets things done.” She has the head of the aviation authority groveling to her; the new Information Technology Oversight Department does her bidding without question; and she has ways of clearing obstacles and inconvenient people out of her path. What’s to stop her?
What Cybil doesn’t realize is that she’s about to come up against a trio of citizens whose lives and livelihoods have suddenly come under her power.
Dr. Regan Rafferty detests the changes she is witnessing in the practice of medicine; now, facing a frivolous lawsuit, she’s desperate enough to take desperate risks. Patrick Dane is about to lose the sleek new jet plane he has designed and built; it’s the one thing he is betting on to pull his family-owned aviation business out of the red. And Bert Alexander, the computer guru who just wants to build faster chips, has no idea that he’ll be up against Pharell in a literal fight for his life.
Along comes Sam Ryker, a visionary who has founded a colony of freedom fighters on a private island. He offers Bert, Patrick and Regan new options but what they truly want is to take a stand. How can they fight Cybil and her ruthless cronies in Washington? Who will live through the vicious battle—and who won’t?
