Every aspect of life which impedes the pursuit of Maximization is pushed aside, including the raising of children. Within one week of birth, all children are permanently turned over to professional child-rearing experts - Proxies - to be raised, educated and cultivated.

Chase Stern, a Proxy Review Officer tasked with the regulation of the Proxy Industry, is plagued by guilt - the consequence of his own dogged pursuit of Maximization. Seeking redemption, he has pledged his life to save the lost but dangerous youth of the Deep Suburbs - the poverty-stricken and crime-ridden majority of society located far from the wealthy, civilized Inner Cities. When Chase uncovers widespread child abuse, the Government is forced to admit failure and shut down the Proxy Industry. All children under the age of eighteen are sent to a remote facility to be indoctrinated and reprogrammed to populate a new, functional society. Three years later, the first group of "children" return very much changed....

Thanks for the wonderful review, J.M. (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...)! And I'm glad you enjoyed the read. The quote you selected highlighted one of the aspects I liked about Chase, as well. He's very much imperfect, but sincerely trying to do the right thing. - Michael

Nice - PNTC is a submission in the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards competition. Today was the first round cut and I'm pretty pumped up that it made it to round two. Round 1 was judged on just a 300 word pitch. Round two will be the first 3-5,000 words. That is the first four chapters of PNTC.

[Terri]

Congrats Michael. Well done. Terri

[Michael]

Thanks Terri!
