Lulled: ...to quiet, silence, pacify, settle down, or hush

Although the characters in this novel are somewhat fictitious, the psychological and sociological struggles are real...as are the truths that overcome the tangible lull within society and self. After receiving a challenge to uncover the cause and solution to a notable emotional numbing within society from their University Sociology Professor, Malcolm Wright and Stephanie Petersen run into a conspiracy that goes higher and deeper than either could have ever imagined. People have been killed to protect this secret and more will die. The friends they can trust are few, and the danger they encounter is real. The risk from the emotional lull caused by these people in government positions, moved by the need for power and control, is only part of what each must overcome. There are demons that haunt the core of their soul, which started long before this artificial lull. What they learn about the world they thought they knew, coupled with the core of who they have become, spirals them into a daunting struggle for life. There is much at stake. The entire country, and who they truly are, is at risk.
