The Rise of the Speaker by Pete Driscoll (The Age of Atlantia #1)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 628 KB
Overview: When technology and politics collide. When a creation is coveted. When the government tries to take what will not be given freely. When a dispute over principles becomes a question of life and death. How far will one man go to protect what he has created, and those he loves? When a new nation rises. When Paradise is threatened. When ideals are at odds with human nature. When enemies and friends are indistinguishable. Will the man become the leader and guide his people to greatness?
Marcus sits alone in his office, waiting for the renowned reporter to arrive.
As the leader of the world’s youngest – and perhaps most controversial – country, his life story has become the de facto history of this fledgling nation. Designed and built from the group up to correct the mistakes of the past, Atlantia was created to ensure the promises made to our forefathers were honored and that true freedom and equality was granted to all.
A noble idea. But the reporter he is about to meet is one of the world’s most respected journalists, it wont be long before she – and everyone else – learns the truth; that despite its lofty ideals and noble values, Atlantia’s foundation is built on a bedrock of greed, corruption, conspiracies, murder and war. The path that leads to this office is paved with more than the bodies of good intentions.
Even having lived through it all, he still finds his own story incredible to recount. Societies can change in so many ways, but few of those ways can change the world as profoundly as technology. But when the technologies that he had invented painted a target on his back, he did the only thing he could; he fought back.
He is brought out of his contemplations by a knock at the door, the journalist has arrived. He cannot back out and he will not lie. He can only hope that the people understand. He never asked for any of this.
