The Son Also Rises

On a near future Earth, Good Man does not mean "good" at all, but a dictator with ties to Earth's dark history of eugenics. A conspiracy hundreds of years in the making surfaces when the son of a dead Good Man takes hold of the reins of power, and finds he is most definitely not welcome among the elite. Now a revolutionary group known as the Sons of Liberty may prove to be the son's only ally in a fight to throw off an evil from the past that has enslaved humanity for generations. Sequel to Darkship Renegades.
