Just a recap:
The Fifteenth Article is a futuristic, political thriller set in the late 21st
century. The world slumped into a second dark age due to war, famine, and
disease. Eventually, people tired of warfare, put down their arms and formed a
global democracy called The Accord. However, corruption soon followed, The
Accord fell and was replaced by a phony democracy called The Constitutional
Government of United Earth, so named for the Fourteen Articles of Constitution.
The world is divided into nineteen provinces, each province containing a
primary city, the polluted areas outside the cities referred to as the
outworld, inhabited by defectors, nomads, and marauders. When the book begins,
Charles Devereaux, governor of Western America walks into the euthanasia
chamber. His successor, Edwin Rowlands, is also slated to replace the ailing
President. His climb to power will give him the votes to pass his proposed
Preservation Act, or The Fifteenth Article. This legislation would make
defection to the outworlds, once a right under The Accord, an act of treason,
both past and present, punishable by death without trial. Outworld factions in
opposition to the current world government are now threatened, including the
thriving Network of Western America, a system of six communities, former
states, led by Jacob Goodayle, a Christ follower, who proposes secession from
the Constitutional Government. General Kinnear’s Revolutionary Army proposes a
military takeover. Ahmed Fared, Jacob Goodayle’s adoptive brother and Second
Governor of Western America, believes reform can be managed within the existing
government that would prevent civil war and a third dark age. Who will be the
voice of reason within the ensuing chaos?
