The year is 2117, and the world is a very different place. The great nations have all fallen, and the only power left is the United States of America, ruled by a military dictatorship. The society is divided into three classes: the rich, the middle class, and the poor. The only way to get ahead is through education, which is only available to the privileged few. A young man named Jim Holden is forced to leave his home and join the military to escape the poverty and violence of the world. Holden is one of the few people who knows the true extent of the military's power, and he is determined to use his knowledge to take down the government.; 8vo; 110 pages.
