The five action-packed days of the book center on the Living Wage Movement and our country‘s growing income disparities. The Movement has organized a bus caravan from Iowa to a huge Labor Day rally in Washington, D.C. The rally’s organizers plan to demonstrate support for raising the national minimum wage to a living wage and for detoxifying our economy and corporate power structures. Through ballot initiatives and legislative action, the LWM has already succeeded in raising the minimum wage in its Iowa hometown and in neighboring towns and states. In doing so, it has had to contend with opposition from corporate power structures, most notably that of MegaSmartMart, the country’s retail superpower. Factor in a sabotaged space station, the cutthroat clash of media empires, collapse of our country’s financial institutions, and intrusion of humanoid aliens from the planet Pisces II. Result: the didactic thrust of REMEDY: D.E.T.O.X.X. AMERICA is subordinate to a fast-paced, complex plot which tests the insight and capabilities of all its characters to save Washington and our country.
My passion and hope is that the variety of voices addressing these issues and proposing alternatives might have a significant impact on the future direction of our country. I would like my novel to be one of those voices.
