It’s the year 2050 and the 1% have won. Either you're a resource baron or you're a peasant worker slaving in the fields. However, hope for change still exists–and it will come from the most unlikely of places.

Maia is the pampered daughter of the most powerful vineyard baron in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. She, frankly, has no complaints about her quite comfortable situation. And yet, a series of unfortunate and exceedingly inconvenient events lead Maia to be mistaken for the Messiah of the much-awaited Revolution.

Now, much to Maia's irritation, instead of having her new Messiah-dom blow over like last week's nonsense, she's kidnapped, dragged across province and brought to Vancouver, where a titanic showdown between the haves and the have-nots is about happen.

Acerca del autor

Born in Montreal, Canada, Jack later moved to the West Coast (Vancouver) to do a doctoral degree that involved collecting many thousand ticks in the Okanagan Valley. He wasn't thrilled about the ticks either. Later, he dabbled in small-scale organic farming for a few years, during which he simultaneously developed an aversion to kale and fancy salad mixes, as well as the realization that farming wasn't all that lucrative. He now lives with his wife in Boulder, Colorado.
