The Body Tax
ByPublisher Description
Our government's most heinous crimes are the ones we never question.
In a future society where citizens pay a quarterly "body tax" by serving as mindless automatons under the watchful eye of an all-seeing police state, a young woman discovers that she's unexpectedly pregnant after completing her term of servitude. Determined to preserve her freedom and the life of her unborn child, she becomes a fugitive, risking everything to uncover the dark secrets that her government is hiding from the public.
