"Thoroughly engrossing..." - Midwest Book Review Is Social Media destroying America? In today's world of instant messaging and always-on media, where distinctions between fact and fiction are often blurred, Lincoln "Mac" MacMahan, a scarred and war-torn veteran now a professor at a northeastern university, displays remarkable kindness and love towards his students as he strives to teach them the fundamentals of communication: the interface of human nature and society. Unexpectedly, as the Fall semester unfolds to reveal the challenges in discerning shades of truth, Mac and his students uncover a conspiracy inside the highest levels of government, just weeks before the upcoming Presidential election. Fighting against a media storm, character assassination, and the threat of danger, they attempt to reveal the truth about the conspiracy. But will that truth and the growing bond between Mac and his students be sufficient to prevent America from being hijacked by its leadership? The election is looming as Mac struggles with the value of his own life in pursuit of the truth, the meaning of faith, and the disappearance of a beautiful young woman he imagines to be his true love.
