Set in November 2011 a mysterious group calling itself Jubilee is assassinating prominent conservatives-the chief justice of the Supreme Court; a former but still powerful vice president; several of the bankers who profited from the crash of '07-with a simple warning: Six will die every day until you start sharing your wealth and power. As the Jubilees make good on their threat and law enforcement proves unable to stop them America's leaders are forced to choose: risk personal death by defying Jubilee or acquiesce to their demands which include a progressive tax on millionaires caps on executive compensation cutting military spending in half and the key to it all a national Jubilee-the forgiveness of all debts. From a pre-obituary posted on-line by Norm Stamper. Michael Sky is dying. It's Michael's latest and last book that brings me to introduce you to him. Accepting his fate Michael worked his tail off to complete Jubilee Day: When America Changes Its Mind About All the Big Things. What's it about Imagine the following e-mail showing up at all major media outlets and online blogs: A Message for the Dominators. Six will die every day until you start sharing wealth and power. Jubilee. Next imagine that six prominent Americans do not wake up that morning: the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the president's chief of staff a former vice president the Joint Chief's army general and two Tea Party leaders. Each died of apparent natural causes at approximately 4:00 a.m. Eastern. There are no signs of intruders or forensic evidence or anything else to suggest foul play. The next morning six more victims. Among them the current Secretary of the Treasury the CEOs of the two largest Wall Street investment banks and the CEO of the world's largest oil company. Same time same circumstances. The following morning another six victims. The day after six more. The best law enforcement minds in the country are totally flummoxed an entire nation paralyzed by fear. Then a new message arrives an eight-point manifesto sent via Facebook and Twitter. It's a list of demands that the American government make sweeping changes: progressive taxation of millionaires caps on executive compensation a 50 percent reduction in military spending a one-time forgiveness of all debts. And much more such as an end to the drug war. Jubilee is a riveting whodunnit breathlessly paced featuring characters you care about -- including by the way rich powerful white men who look for all the world like likely targets but whose generosity and basic goodness spares them. Yes it is wildly imaginative but it's a credibly rendered tale. Lulu.com paperback
