In "Atlas Rising" Julie and Andrew worked to avert an apocalyptic asteroid, now they are challenged to stop microscopic tyranny. While earlier they fought to protect life itself, now they must preserve liberty. This time the peril is not state ineptitude, but the divergent goals of the state and the people.Different perspectives on life and a different regard for the individual put two sides on opposite courses. The powers-that-be, determined to do their duty, set a course to do what they deem is best for the common man. The state's behemoth database of who, what, when and where and expanding capacity to connect the dots put every aspect of life under the state's microscope. Citizens find themselves being measured for a straightjacket. Now technology has provided the final element to control individuals at their very core. The race is on as the state seeks to insert the key for total domination. Only after a man-made disaster strikes at home does Andrew realize the battle must be fought. With former Atlas compatriots based offshore and others throughout the country Julie and Andrew do what they must. Knowing there is no retreat; citizens galvanized by their passion for liberty conspire to avert subjugation. Setting up a hidden base in pioneer fashion allows them to evade the watchful eye of the state and orchestrate the plan. It is a battle that must be won.
