Book Three
The Scales Fail
A Novel of Two Worlds. 22 chapters, 16,590 words, free from the first page to the last.
A man sits at his computer at one o’clock in the morning, stubborn, tired, and angry about what he sees happening to his country. Then he is somewhere else, and someone he calls the Teacher begins showing him what was, and what could be.
The manuscript is close. It is not done. The chapters below are
everything that exists today, and they are free to read in full. The final table
of contents is still being worked on, so nothing here is settled.
