The Third

"The only way your kids are going to have any future is if we get this world back to a livable condition. The only were going to do that is with fewer people. People are the problem, not the solution."When Ransom Lawe, a recycler in the Pacific Northwest, discovers his wife is pregnant with their third-and therefore illegal-child, he's forced to choose between the government that proclaims a desire to save the planet and his hope for a place where his family can live in freedom. But with the Census Bureau Sentinels closing in on his wife and unborn child, Ransom's choice will either save his family or tear them apart forever. Abel Keogh offers a stark and haunting look at the not-too-distant future in this chilling novel. Crossing lines between good and evil, freedom and oppression, and political and environmental responsibility, The Third, is a gut-wrenching tale of intense loyalty and unconditional love.
