The Reclamation Series examines our future world, beginning in the year 2270. Via many medical advances of the past century, world health care has taken an enormous step forward, thanks to the psychs with their fancy implant machines, the drug manufacturers, and the corporation executives, who now control the world. The psych drug Pytalon coupled with their PDH (pain, drug, hypnotism) implant technology has turned civilization around-no more wars, no more criminality, and jobs for everyone Utopia. The Total Care program provides jobs, homes, food, and clothing for everyone, using the motto "From the Cradle to the Grave"-except the drug turns people into mindless zombies who obey their implanted commands. Worse, corporate executives turn some women into their "ideal woman," called Exotic Escorts (EE women), sex doll or toys for the wealthy. The second novel, Organ Donors, continues the unraveling. At the time of this sequel, the resistance movement has invented a technology to get an implant destimulated and the awful effects of the psych drug eliminated, salvaging a person. Because they are able to undo these effects, the real enemy must act. The ninety-nine richest men in the world formed a Cabal back in the 1990's. These few men had one thing in common: a hidden terror of other people. Only when a person was drugged and implanted did one of these men feel any relief from their constant terror. Thus, these men began the conversion of the world into a form they could tolerate. At first, these men developed organ donors who were clones of themselves. Thus, when their body's organs began to age and fail, they had a perfect match, extending their lives. Later, the Transference Machine allowed them to have new youthful bodies, resulting in near immortality for these select men. Six of these organ donors discovered they were people, quite brilliant, and to whom they were supposed to be donating their organs. To avoid having their bodies hacked up they escaped. After meeting with the resistance, they began unraveling the entire system, specifically that of the top corporate executives and their families, the wealthiest men and women of the entire world, who lived in seclusion, unknown to everyone else. A few of these organ donors take their own action, further unraveling the carefully constructed societal web. In this novel, the actual motivations of those who would suppress other people and all society are revealed. That motivation is a hidden terror of other people.
