SANCTION was a work in progress for ten years. The writing began about 1998 when "a story" simply needed to be written.

The author had read Ayn Rand's powerful novel, Atlas Shrugged, while in High School shortly after the work was published, and re-read the book every couple of years thereafter. Her novel ends with the heroes coming back from their self-imposed exile to begin the rebuilding of a shattered world.

However, as the Introduction to SANCTION says, It is now fifty years later and we are again in the midst of a world in chaos. The victory envisioned in Atlas Shrugged was short-lived. Terrorism, tyranny, and the decline of the human spirit are facts of life recognized in every country in the world in one way or another. The author recognized that the conditions in the world today were the same as those Ms. Rand wrote about fifty years ago, and SANCTION began as a novel depicting those conditions.

A plot for total domination of the world takes place. Sound familiar? Read about it in your own newspapers these days. Can the world leaders resist this powerful force? On the other hand, are they really trying today, and do the citizens of the world really know what's going on? As the war of good vs. evil rages, Sanction intensely narrates the lives of some of the powerful men on both sides of the battle. Do we see any of these men showing up today, on either side of the battle? Computer hacking, missile attacks, cold-blooded murder and pure evil haunt the world as The Plan progresses. Is there a plan somewhere out there today, and what does it look like?

SANCTION is a story of that world in chaos; a world that is being driven to an unknown end—with the acquiescence of the majority of the people. There are some who are trying to fight to reclaim the spirit of the world, but can they actually combat the powers that are trying to take over? Can people give away the control of their lives, then retake that control? What can be important enough in a world that has been given away to cause people to fight to take it back?

SANCTION is an intense novel about a world on the verge of being taken over by an evil that is not understood—a force not able to be controlled. It’s a novel about today.

I hope you will enjoy it, and may the Truth be made known.
