Casey Raymond's gasless cars and space-age houses have left the economy in turmoil. As assassination attempts mount, he must decide between the joy of raising his baby girl or the agony of giving her up to keep her safe. "Fatherless" is the second part of an action-adventure trilogy that spans twenty years and three presidential administrations, a panoramic epic examining the costs of empowerment, the price of intimacy, and the simple affirmation of the value of oneself.
