Author Michael C. Bland discusses the first two books in his science fiction trilogy: The Price of Safety and The Price of Rebellion. The story is set in the year 2047, and Michael started with the premise that technology can make our lives better, but it can also be used against us. What if, while no one was paying attention, someone out there was actually paying attention to everything. In Michael's near-future world, everyone has a computer implant. In fact, not having one is illegal. But that technology ends up in the hands of bad actors who do not have everyone's best interest at heart.

Dray Quintero learned an ugly truth: the leaders in D.C. are fake. They've stolen the identities of those elected to Congress and are determined to stay in power, using his own technology against him and the rest of the population. After revealing the dangers of their mandated implants to his fellow citizens, and calling on everyone to rise up, Dray joins the already-underway rebellion. But his joining is as much to free the U.S. as it is to avenge his daughter's death. Before he can strike, The Agency attacks with devastating consequences. Dray and the other survivors are forced to run as Agents hunt them. Then Dray makes a discovery that could change the nation. As he and the rebels prepare a bold offensive, his wife, Mina, broadcasts a preposterous claim. He's forced to choose between the rebellion and a desperate hope. Between family and country. What he does will change everything. The Price of Rebellion is the action-packed second installment of The Price Of series from multiple-award-winning author Michael C Bland.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.
