Ray Stanton and his wife Charlotte never expected to live a life in the country, but find themselves doing just that after events beyond their control push them from their beloved city. When the dollar collapses, a scene of violence and hunger erupts. The rich hunker down or flee altogether, while the middle class and the poor are left to battle it out over the remaining resources like food and energy. By nationalizing large farms and setting up voluntary food camps, the government offers the people an escape from their hardships. Along with some old friends, Ray and his family choose to "rough it" and take care of themselves. After an especially harsh winter, a late night knock on the door brings news of what the voluntary food camps have truly become, and good people are forced to make a difficult decision - to maintain the status quo and hope things get better, or to bravely fight against tyranny.About the Author: A disenchanted libertarian nearing 40, I woke up one morning and decided it was time to start writing. I love the self-publishing industry and the fact that anyone with patience and the ability to string together a few thousand sentences can write a book. For me, it's a way to relieve the tensions and questions I have regarding the world I am leaving behind for my daughter, while fulfilling my social obligation to open eyes and question mainstream thought using subtle story-telling instead of in-your-face, argumentative journalism. Some call my books dystopian. To others, they are a warning sign of things that may come. A few think I'm nuts, but that's okay too. As long as they don't write bad reviews. I hang out on Twitter a lot @agfredericks... come say hello.
