Beschreibung
This is a novel about the collapse of the democratic experiment known as America. Ultimately, it is greed that bankrupts the nation beyond the tipping point. The story is about an antigravity device called a Red Box that enables a new vehicle called a Turbopod, which is a car, airplane, and helicopter all in one. The inventor, Matt Flynn, uses several chapters and some alarming statistics to assess the state of the economy that no longer can sustain the dozens of welfare programs developed by previous administrations to redistribute the national wealth via coerced equality measures. Alarmed by this sad state of events, Matt redesigned a Riverine Turbopod into an R-Pod with nasty nanowasps capable of quelling urban demonstrations. President Werner, frustrated by Congresss refusal to slash budgets and with only six months left in his second term, addresses the nation with a plan to dramatically curtail government spending. He knows that the leftist media will fan the flames of civil unrest, leading to violent demonstrations. Matts R-Pods slow the rate of uprisings in order to buy time to evacuate his administration. In the meantime, Matts wife, Heather, serves as the project manager to move the Flynn family from Key Biscayne to a Caribbean paradise and, ultimately, far from Americas new experiment in socialism. The family enjoys the good life while imagining a tear falling from the once-proud bald eagles eye.
