Melena’s life was comfortable and uncomplicated—that is until she met Adam Winter, a young rebel taken prisoner by Melena’s father. Now, she must decide whether to return to a life of privilege or to follow her heart. Adam Winter believed he was fulfilling a simple mission when he left the city-fortress of Independence—as part of a larger effort to restore the Constitutional Republic once known as The United States of America. When the “data stamp” he was sent to retrieve becomes surgically implanted in his brain, Adam finds his physical senses and abilities heightened, dramatically. Aided by his new ally, the beautiful daughter of the Senator who wants to bring Adam and his people to their knees, Adam must evade the pursuit of the Federal Police and return in time to defend his home—the last bastion of liberty and American values in a morally and economically destitute world—Independence.
