THE DIVIDING LINE is a contemporary thriller based on a subversive government faction that is introducing diseases into society as a form of population control. The story follows Canton Giles, a 23-year-old Senator’s assistant on Capitol Hill. Senator Kelly is Canton’s boss as well as a father figure, since his own father passed away when he was eight. Canton is smart, but he’s immature, and his interests focus on partying and sleeping more than getting ahead at work – or in life. It is not until he starts having disturbing, seizure-like episodes and receiving cryptic messages from strangers that he takes an active role in understanding what is happening to him.Canton slowly comes to realize that he has been monitored by a secret underground "militia" since his father died mysteriously of an unidentifiable blood disorder fifteen years ago. It just so happens that the man in charge of this militia, General William Vaughn, was also Canton’s father’s best friend in the service, and the man behind the new spread of disease in the United States is Canton’s boss and guardian, Senator Tom Kelly. Through their rigorous monitoring, the militia discovers that a diary lost in 1917 may still exist – and if so, it holds the proof of the faction’s plans to buy infected blood samples from other countries and introduce them into the poor, immigrant populations, and evidence of early successes doing such. In the militia's attempt to uncover the diary, they involuntarily embroil Canton in a new, experimental project, Operation Green Wave.But sometimes what looks like an explanation turns out to be another conspiratorial cover up. With time running out, and the next deadly disease (The Bird Flu: H5N1V) en route to the United States, it is up to Canton to identify his allies and his enemies, and to find the black diary from 1917 that holds the answer to how and why his father really died. It will uncover the government’s attempt to set a “Dividing Line” between those who shall live and those who shall die..
