Book excerpt: It’s 2039, and over the past fifteen years, the U.S. has gone through bankruptcy and collapse of the federal government, a second Great Depression, establishment of a military government, and martial law. Although now in economic recovery, the long-neglected HIV/AIDS epidemic is ravaging the country. Over a quarter of the U.S. population is feared infected. Infiltrated by religious-right fundamentalists, the government has mandated nation-wide HIV testing, and their solution the HIV/AIDS nemesis is shocking. A second civil war seems imminent. This leaves Reverend Gerald Fall and Lillian, his spouse, in a dilemma. Their lives go through a roller coaster ride of events and discoveries about what’s really happening in the police state of America. This journey may cost them their lives. They experience a surreal, alternate reality that stimulates serious re-evaluation of the religious-right, Biblical inerrancy, Bible abuse, hypocrisy, bigotry, homophobia, and twisted Christian dogma.
