Facing dangers wherever they turn, they must come together in order to survive in a world turning increasingly dystopian. American students abroad become embroiled in a deadly international race to find a force for freedom before the world succumbs to tyranny. Stanford grad Zak Miller is attending Beijing's prestigious Tsinghua University when one morning, as he studies for an exam at the University's beautiful imperial garden, an unknown man nearby is suddenly and inexplicably attacked. Zak comes to his aid, and in doing so is drawn into the vortex of fast moving world events. By the same author as Boogeyman, A Great American Witch by David Dennison, also available on Smashwords.
