2029
Welcome to America in 2029...
A depression economy. A delayed presidential election. A series of terrorist attacks. And a president who will do anything to win.
2029 is a gripping political thriller portrayed through the lens of a single family, the Thatchers. Ryan is a Marine who was discharged for saving the wrong lives. Heather is a medical student who subverts her country's new population policies and steals off to the woods to have her birth control implants illegally removed. Breanna and Mark--both at the top of their class--may lose their college scholarships. Their father, James, works in what may soon be illegal--a second job. Their mother, Julie, is being followed.
As Ryan's clandestine activities draw the wrath of the authorities, each family member faces a stark choice. But what does a good citizen do when compromise is no longer an option?
Gripping and provocative, 2029 is more than an action-packed thrill ride. It is an eerily prophetic novel that will stay with you long after the final moment of suspense.
Author Bio: Tim Wuebker teaches in greater Kansas City. He has worked with over 2,000 students, ages 14-62, from every continent, facilitated 11 kinds of college English classes, and taught six kinds of high school math. He also runs marathons and writes novels.
