Robert's failureto obtain his wife's Newlife-saving medicine shatters his World. Join this band of rebels as they undertake actions in Order to help her - to the benefit of all Americans.Just as any contractor would accumulate materials from a lifetime of building homes, old Demo Joe had more than his share of leftovers from a decade's long career of bringing buildings down. Inside the converted Sea-Train container with adjoining metal paneled shed was an assortment of dynamite, some canisters with the word Nitroglycerin on the side, some orange plastic wrapped elongated 'salamis' of a play-dough looking substance, some kegs of black powder, a mixture of blasting caps, coils of fuse, multicolored wire, and shaped charges. After viewing the items in the shed, Dylan exclaimed with a grin, "You know what they say-a man is only as good as his stash." He continued, "So, Bob, when's your next trip to Vegas?"

Lake's 305 page novel pits man against the culture. The man, Bob Revere, has a wife with a terminal disease. The story is of his struggle to force the government's drug control agency to approve a new drug for use in the United States. With the encouragement of his son and his son's friends, he engages in acts meant to call attention to political and corporate structures that prevent the medicine from being used for his wife.
The story develops in a clever way and creates many scenes that might make filmmakers take notice of his plot line. Anyone who is interested in conspiracy theories would find comfort in the story. A surprise ending wraps up the story nicely.
There are a few spots where the characters (or the author) spends too much time railing against the powers that be. That's not bad, but I don't think it does a lot for his story telling.
