Unclaimed Son (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578883441)

Long ago and far into the future, the people of the nation-state of Kenton lived in absolute liberty and wealth. Kenton existed without central government, police, or prisons. Every individual could pursue any endeavor, save the trespass of others. How could such a society possibly work? Kenton's stability and peace are maintained by justifiable homicide. Every individual of Kenton has the burden of choice: contribution is rewarded, deviancy swiftly punished by death. Kenton's foundational tenet: every individual is intrinsically decent, generous, and wise. The good people of Kenton maintain order by possessing the power of life and death over each other. Not a perfect system, but one that works. Through Benjamin Walker, born into a family of wealth and power, we tour this unique world and discover sacrifice and salvation, selfishness and liberation. But when Benjamin Walker is called upon by fate to confront malevolent forces from beyond his world, will he be able to save his society? The answers lie in his actions, which determine the destiny of Kenton and of civilization.
