Imagine a world where life-extending and life-saving capabilities are withheld: drugs, vaccines, medical procedures, operations and any technology that extends or saves lives. Not because humanity hasn't advanced in these fields, no. Because the world's governments have decided we can no longer save or extend life. We must live as far as possible, as nature had intended, to save humanity from self-annihilation, driven by uncontrollable population growth.
Edward (Ed), Thorncroft, has built a substantial and sophisticated organisation to fight these laws, passed by the United Nations under the LPAS (Life Preservation Assistance Suspension) program. Ed, in addition to his illegal life-saving organisation, has entered politics and set up a large lobby group. His relationship with Leonora has continued to blossom, at a time when his relationship with his best friend, Hans Pelletise, continues its downward spiral.
With the formation of Ed's political party, he has forged many relationships with senior leaders and politicians worldwide. But his enemies continue to grow in number, and dark forces are now at work to thwart Ed's goal of watering down LPAS laws and his eventual aim of having the laws repealed. Many believe that should Ed succeed; it will bring about the end of humanity. For this reason, they intend to stop him and anyone else who is a threat to the LPAS program, organisation and laws.
