THE BOOK
Derik Michaels wants to change the world through eradicating all oppositions to his version of society. To accomplish this feat, he gains the support of several politicians through navigating them along a sick sense of logic in order to persuade them beyond moral thinking into murder. His plan is foiled by two associates, an assassin and a politician, that realize their contributions cost them their souls. During a break in at Delik's office, they're caught.
How far should government go in order to create a better world? Some believe murder and through manipulation bring others to follow. In this novel the unthinkable becomes a reality.

His hand held the revolver in front of him. He listened to the clicks as he spun the chamber. The shaking of his hands didn't stop him.
"If I'm wrong, please let me die.
