The Faithful: 23rd Century Morality
In the Prologue, written in 2290, Erik Wong, the narrator, is the last Survivor of 14 babies kidnapped in 2210. He has reconstructed details of the episode from personal memoirs, correspondence, and official documents.
Radiant Praxis, the bloodless revolution of 2080, abolished all political boundaries and established seven Continental Federations, each with its own democratically elected leaders. Each Federation is represented on the InterContinental Confederation (ICC). One problem remains, however. The horrendous persistence of the Great Plague (GP), which decimated most of the world's population during the 21st century and galvanized Survivors to value life over death.
Until the babies disappeared, the world has been serene and peaceful. No war, no weapons, no competition, no crime, no fear, no greed, no poverty, no hatred, no pollution, no âGet Evenâ -- problems which had harried earlier centuries. Technology, talents, and natural resources are shared and bartered cooperatively. Journeys between continents and to outer space are routine. The InterContinental Confederation assigns the responsibility for finding the babies and their kidnappers to its seven Operational Alliances, coordinated by the Conflict Resolution Alliance (CRA).
When one of the missing babies is found dead, fear begins to contaminate the Earth. Suspicion focuses on The Faithful, a secret cabal of the discredited and ostensibly disbanded multinational corporate industries which had ruthlessly controlled Food, Religion, Technology, Weapons, Manufacturing, Communications, Chemicals, Health Care, and Finance. But critical questions remain: who killed the baby? And where are the others?
Eventually, the culprits are identified and tried, the surviving babies are returned to their parents and the perpetrators are punished.
The Great Plague remains a mystery, but Radiant Praxis prevails.
