Many never ponder just how much history shapes our thoughts and actions, or even our nation and world. But one man did. In the middle of the twenty-first century, a man named Henry Betterman devised a system to democratically rid the world of its inherent dark history allowing it to grow in a more positive, prosperous way. Two centuries later, the World works together as one, wars are nearly nonexistent, and poverty is next to extinct. Young adults are taught how the great Betterman system accomplished this and continues to keep the World in check. Maxwell Botier, a proud, impassioned history and Betterman professor at the Univerisity of Nevada Fallon, enjoys teaching this great system each semester. However, when a scrap of old newsprint surfaces, he soon embarks on a risky quest. As Botier begins secretly researching this newfound treasure, he must be cautious, as the Betterman system, in all its magnificence, also carries with it harsh penalties for those who would attempt to undermine it.
