Pipher reports: “Lifelong friends Barten Colby and Joel Wilbur have taken and lived advanced courses in Marxism and socialist dogma and are therefore well versed in the subject. Yet they differ markedly in their fundamental beliefs. Bart, a rising star, is a convinced socialist with a tendency toward communism, while Joel, who still harbors serious doubts, carefully guards his thoughts. Both were middle managers in the socialist government until Bart was unexpectedly promoted to the second level, just one step away from the oligarchs who rule satellite America. Joel replaced him as manager of the project to glorify global life and the environment.
“Their close relationship is strained, however, when Joel lets a word slip, putting them both in danger while simultaneously attracting the attention of a secret group seeking to overthrow the socialist regime in America.
“When he joins this group, Joel is soon given the task of monitoring Region 9 to find out if there is any support there for the group’s activities, since popular support is crucial and there are far more people living in this hellish slum region than in all other regions of America combined.
“This puts Joel in the precarious position of working for the regime while simultaneously working to destroy it, all while under close surveillance around the clock. Another slip could be fatal. But his efforts are rewarded when he not only falls in love with Celia Noel, the woman who tricked him into joining the group, but is taken in by a family in need and befriends two Christian clergymen who work under threat of death, as well as an American expat trying to raise a secret army in Region Nine.
“Bart continues to make his mark as he meets Sara Comely, a classmate from his youth, falls in love with her and rises to the top of the International Socialist Democracy.”
