Description
Aging billionaire Thomas Hancock has had a successful and happy life. Then, a near-death experience leaves him convinced that Thomas Jefferson has personally commanded him to rekindle the central tenets of the Declaration of Independence.This fevered apparition seems crazy at first. But in his heart, he is certain he has been summoned to transform society, or to build a new one, to reclaim man's right to live their lives without tyrannical governments involved in every minuscule detail.Time is running out, though. At his age, he's got one shot to see this through. His equally successful friend joins the quest, and off they go in search for the ideal method for establishing a sanctuary for that most endangered species known as liberty. As they grow more and more radical in their thinking, they consider alternatives others might call extreme.By allowing themselves to consider unconventional options, they end up devising an astonishingly unique system that combines personal independence with the power of technology to create what just might be the ultimate form of governance.With established government forces aligned against them, it's going to take their great fortunes and dogged determination to wrestle away a small corner of the world where they can nurture Jefferson's concept of our unalienable right to liberty and happiness.
