Chronicles the plight of six average Americans as they struggles against the evil fascists who have taken over the White House and the country.

Description:

Welcome to the New America! It is 2010. The country is ruled by the iron fist of the president turned dictator, John M. Forrest, known only by his middle initial. The Constitution has been suspended. Congress is now little more than a rubber-stamp for the Executive Branch, and martial law has been imposed from coast to coast. Fundamentalist Christianity and corporatism rule supreme: faith before reason.

An unlikely group of heroes band together--Eileen Hunter, a lesbian and former soldier; Terry Khan, a Muslim boy; Archie Kane, a middle-aged, liberal school teacher; Jack "JD" Daniels, a computer hacker extraordinaire; his mother, Shirley "Daisy" Daniels, a colorful old hippie; and her friend, Sam Brown, a Native-American and Vietnam vet--to struggle for their very survival against the evil forces of sadistic Commander Hermann Gotthard; his side-kick, Captain Paul Johnson, of the NYC SSB (Special Services Branch) and Colonel James Davenport, Commandant of Camp Southern Fortress, a brutal concentration forced-labor camp in southern Texas. Their only crime is their mere existence. Their only hope is to make it north across the forty-ninth parallel into Canada, which is still a democracy. Read an Excerpt.

Description:

A tale of lost gold, a deadly curse and the quest to solve a hundred year old mystery.

Somewhere in the steep, rugged mountains surrounding Pitt Lake, British Columbia, is a fabulous hidden treasure: a lost gold mine. Slumach was executed for murder in 1891, but as the noose was placed around his neck, he cursed his secret glory hole and anyone who ever tried to find it. Over the next century, at least forty people have died and many others were injured in the hunt for this long lost legend. And still, year after year, the search goes on.

UBC Professor, Dr. Paul Gregory and his pretty graduate assistant Bev Dayton with their colorful native guide Simon George, collide head-on with con-men Kevin Macarthur and Randy Smith, as both parties try to solve a mystery that has baffled seasoned prospectors and tenderfoots alike for over a century.

"Nika memloose . . . Mine memloose" (When I die, the mine dies.)
