The Fever Chronicles S S Engle

In the middle of an election season society has broken down. The conservative regime in power under the authoritative control of President Walter G. Upham has begun to wage an ageist war against its own citizens. Specifically, the population that falls in-between the ages of 20-35 have been targeted. These, 'Millennials' as the president has named them, have become public enemy number one for their non-conformist views on life. They have also been dubbed the source of a radically new and mutated form of yellow fever. With an outbreak of the disease rapidly spreading from one country to the next, isolation procedures are taken into effect, with drastic consequences. Basic liberties are being suspended, and all internet and Wi-Fi capabilities have been temporarily disbanded until further notice. However, the Millennials are not buying into the president's propaganda, and are not without a voice. The liberal candidate running for president, Leonard Schwartz, is still pushing for activism from all ages to right the wrongs of his opponent and his blind following. An underground movement is swelling, but with limited resources, how long will their hope keep them alive?
