"Silence is essential. Question nothing. Obey everything."
Franklin Gamble finds himself bound by these strict principles as a member of the Sovereign State. However, haunting dreams of a forgotten family and a growing suspicion that his reality is a carefully constructed facade drive him to seek the truth.
When the enigmatic Coalition reaches out to him, Franklin reluctantly embarks on a journey to uncover the elusive answers. In his quest for truth, he becomes entangled in a high-stakes battle of wills against the Sovereign's agents, who wield propaganda and the menacing Dogmen to suppress any hint of rebellion. Time is slipping away, and with his life on the line, Franklin faces a crucial decision: succumb to the oppression or defy it, potentially shattering the Empire forever.
The greatest threat to a silent empire is the spoken truth. In a narrative reminiscent of classics like "1984" and "Fahrenheit 451," Lewis Knight paints a compelling dystopian landscape that eerily mirrors our own reality, challenging readers to ponder the precarious balance between power and knowledge.
