Layering in reverse racial inequality, and the advancements of science \u0026amp; technology only achievable by a civilization that has no suffering. We examine what is, what was, and what could be.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e100 years ago, they vanished. No one knew why, no one knew how -- no one knew anything. The scientists were stunned, hell the world was stunned, and as for myself, I knew it was a moment that would haunt our history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e My name is Betty Anders, a small-town teacher with an intrepid husband. David and I lived our peaceful, uneventful lives in Nebraska: I taught, while he pursued his research in biogenetic engineering. His breakthrough discovery -- quantum entangled botany -- gave us hope for a brighter, more sustainable future... which turned to utter fear when the government took it too far. Of course they did. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Our remaining peace evaporated when the missiles started falling, fired by cruelly-intentioned leaders of the Alliance. I know what you're thinking... WHAT freaking missiles? But bare with me, there's a lot to cover, and not a lot of time. Soon we found ourselves confined to David's bunker, frantically searching for any information. Who was left? How had the fallout altered the landscape? I couldn't help my mind go to the simple prevailing truth that my husband's scientific breakthrough is now the most important piece of knowledge on the planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As we brace ourselves to leave the bunker, I wonder, above all, if these events are somehow linked to the great mystery of what happened with the Native Americans those 100 years ago. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e While David and I find our place in this post-apocalyptic world, we need your help in summoning the courage to push forward as I have a feeling that the lines of history are all converging on this moment in time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"a heady and thoroughly engrossing story...refreshingly vivid and thought-provokingly different.\" \u003cb\u003e-- Diane C.
