The Scoloderus Conspiracy

Three centuries after global cataclysms reshaped the Earth, a super-government emerged, the United Americas Trade Federation. In their quest for a unified continent, the Federation seized land and absorbed all of the territorial governments of the former North America.

The Libre Voyageurs, a group of nomads living in the northern territories, oppose the Federation and defy their authority over the continent. They have struggled against the Federation for years; however, everything is about to change. The Libre Voyageurs have a daring plan to get the information that will give them a decisive advantage over the Federation. To get that information, they will abduct Colonel Anthony Hammond and use his daughter to deceive him into revealing the details of “Scoloderus.”

When Colonel Hammond vanishes and hours later his wife dies in an accident and his daughter disappears, the Federation’s leadership draws on every resource at their disposal. The government’s Chief Delegate recruits Professor Allen Taylor to join the team that is working to solve the mystery, recover Colonel Hammond, and foil the Voyageur’s plan. Professor Taylor is brilliant, yet unaware that his life is in danger.

Set against an undercurrent of distrust and resentment between Professor Taylor and the Army’s Chief of Staff, General Leland, the Scoloderus Conspiracy takes the reader on a three-day journey of detecting plots within plots, seeking out truths within deceptions, and racing against time to avert disaster.
