An Orwellian thriller ? The heart-pounding story of a family after electing a demagogue and fundamentalists who adopt Biblical Law for moral punishments. The economy sucks. Robots keep eliminating middle class jobs. Terrorism is a constant threat. The CIA and FBI can't stop terrorists. The bureaucratic IRS needs to be shaken up. Angry, fearful voters elect a narcissistic demagogue President and fundamentalist congress. The CIA, FBI and IRS are organized into a super-department, the Department of Virtue, with a mandate to bring the nation back to its Christian roots. Virtue's director institutes Biblical Law punishments as an example to those who break the commandments. Only two US Senators -- and one mysterious woman -- can prevent a disaster.
