It's 2113 in the United States but Christina Applewait does not recognize it as the country she read about in the banned books of the library. It is a nation where the ruling elite select the president by right of succession. Now, her heart is breaking and fear has flooded the craggy fissure. Her dear grandfather, Oliver Richly, the presidential candidate in the newly formed 1787-Constitutionalists Party has been kidnapped. Her friend, Dr. Jason O'Reilly, helps her in the desperate search to find him. Is he alive? If he is, will they find him before the presidential election?
