Product Description:
American taxpayers begin disappearing….

Senator Cybil Pharell wants the Presidency. Badly. She’s connected and powerful, and she’ll do anything, including using a very secret Washington phone number to reach a mysterious man who “gets things done.” She has the head of the aviation authority groveling to her; the new Information Technology Oversight Department does her bidding without question; and she has ways of clearing obstacles and inconvenient people out of her path. What’s to stop her?

What Cybil doesn’t realize is that she’s about to come up against a trio of citizens whose lives and livelihoods have suddenly come under her power.

Dr. Regan Rafferty detests the changes she is witnessing in the practice of medicine; now, facing a frivolous lawsuit, she’s desperate enough to take desperate risks. Patrick Dane is about to lose the sleek new jet plane he has designed and built; it’s the one thing he is betting on to pull his family-owned aviation business out of the red. And Bert Alexander, the computer guru who just wants to build faster chips, has no idea that he’ll be up against Pharell in a literal fight for his life.

Along comes Sam Ryker, a visionary who has founded a colony of freedom fighters on a private island. He offers Bert, Patrick and Regan new options but what they truly want is to take a stand. How can they fight Cybil and her ruthless cronies in Washington? Who will live through the vicious battle—and who won’t?

J.R. Sinclair is a storyteller first, then an avid watcher of politics in action. He observes that the human tendency is to give up freedom in exchange for promises that someone else will take care of things. In Freedom Island, he creates characters to cheer for and characters to rant against. Sinclair lives in the Southwest.
