By 2029, a new political group, the Free Nation Party, has been elected to power. Their mandate is sullied by the demands of many people who want to change the U.S. to what they think is the best for everyone.The FNP has created Project Patriot, an experiment that will prove that any American can survive through even the toughest challenges by rigidly following the ideals of the FNP. Thomas Kanti finds himself as one of the less than willing volunteers to the project, and stumbles upon information about what will occur for this experiment. He will be severely challenged both physically and mentally, but he and his close group of friends do what they can to persevere, and flourish, in Project Patriot. However, he will not be given free rein inside Project Patriot. Other people will do what they can to survive, including those who will sell their souls for the promise of escaping the operation. Ideas and weapons will collide as various figures taking part in this cruel experiment fight for what they believe is the right thing for themselves, their family, friends and even their country.
The breadth of Peru's culture from pre-Columbian times to today is surveyed in this one-stop reference. Modern Peru emerges as an ethnically divided nation progressing toward social integration of its heavily Indian and Hispanic population. Ferreira and Dargent, native Peruvians, illustrate how the diverse geography of the country—the Andes, coast, and jungle—has also had a role in shaping cultural and social expression, from history to art. Further exploring the influence of Spanish colonialism and its modern blending with Indian traditions, this volume covers the legacy of the Incas and Machu Picchu, providing an authoritative overview of how the citizenry and major cultural venues, such as the church, media, and arts, have evolved. A chronology and glossary supplement the text.
The pervasiveness of corruption has been aided by the readiness of both Peruvians and the international community to turn a blind eye.
Thomas Kanti is an unwilling participant in a government experiment that has thousands of teenagers create a successful government whilst trapped inside a dome. Tom and his band of allies have formed an Empire, whose goal is to not only escape this experiment but to defy the government who trapped them inside the dome, the Free Nation Party. Unbeknownst to the Empire, the Free Nation Party has been covertly supporting a rival faction inside the dome: the Twin Pines Republic. The Empire faces other, hardened enemies such as the People's Federation who are also vying to take over the entire dome. Each passing day provides new opportunities for all of those involved in this experiment to get their desired results, but also presents openings that their enemy can use against them. With the clash of ideologies and armaments all but inevitable inside the dome once again, only two questions stand out in this horrid experiment: Can the Free Nation Party continue to reign in the US when this experiment ends? And will the body count inside the dome keep rising after all is said and done?
