In a dark and dying world, Eugene Sulke stands on the cusp of his lifelong dream: a promotion, money, and a home in the affluent section of Chicago called the Fortress where he can watch the sun set over the azaleas. Only one thing stands in his way—his own fear that he is responsible for the terrible conditions his new home walled him off from. His hesitation at taking the job offer suddenly puts everything he worked for in jeopardy.
Caught in a web of intrigue and the warnings from his wife, Eugene could not see the unfolding chaos around him. Suddenly his wife is dead, he’s in prison, and then subjected to the government’s final solution to the dissident they’re convinced Eugene Sulke is. Faced with a sick idea of forcing new neuron connections in the brain, Eugene is being coerced into being just the sort of good citizen the government wants him to be.
A rescue is attempted, but Eugene’s own fears become his worst enemy. He must make it to New America or face consequences he cannot even imagine as a result of events he cannot understand.
