SynopsisThe Raffle: The Complete Novel Parts 1-4 is the page-turning complete collection of The Raffle Series, originally released with Part 1 in January 2016 eerily predicting many impactful events in our country today. The year is 2027. After a biological, nuclear and electromagnetic attack on July 4, 2016 gave rise to a widespread blackout and racial war among Los Angeles inhabitants, Southern California is then isolated and quarantined away from the newly-organized The New United States (NUS), a security-obsessed, ultra-religious and isolationist country secretly policed by humanoid robots. But an annual raffle allows one candidate from the quarantined territory to enter the NUS, but only if the candidate is deemed worthy and virus-free. The attacks on Southern California separated our hero from his wife and daughter. The story commences with him finally managing to reach the last stage of the annual raffle after a decade of trying, and with it, the possibility of reuniting with his family in the NUS. What he does not know is that the NUS has programmed a new challenge for him before he can reunite with his family that will require him to travel across the NUS on an e-bike (electronic bicycle) by a certain number of days across territories that are segregated and unfriendly. If you like cyberpunk, dystopian novels you will love this twisting tale that feels more like a semi-true story rollercoaster than a work of fiction. Join the many readers who have love The Raffle! What those readers are saying: 'Philip K. Dick would be proud.' 'A great read about a not-too-distant future that could be frighteningly all too real..' 'Warning for the Future' 'A Cross Between a Crystal Ball and a RollerCoaster.' 'Welcome to your future' 'Dark, surprising and totally worth the read' 'Page Turner From Beginning To End.' 'I lost sleep for 3 nights as I had trouble putting this book down' 'Fun, yet eerily relatable.' 'Riveting series!.' 'I loved this book!' 'Wow!', May 19, 2027: The United States is now The New United States. Los Angeles is mostly a wasteland after a multi-pronged biological, nuclear and electromagnetic pulse attack paralyzed and altered Southern California on July 4, 2016. Without electricity and under the influence of a virus heightening racial preferences, Southern California fractured into four distinct ethnic enclaves battling each other until the New United States provides an offer New Angelinos cannot refuse: The Raffle. After ten years, Ramsey Arami finally makes it to the final stage of the final and is "encouraged" by The New United States to write a letter to any family living in the New United States. Ramsey pens a letter to his wife and daughter living in the NUS having made a fateful and fortunate trip east without him on July 3, 2016. Ramsey explains the last ten years, but should he so blindly trust The New United States?, May 2027: The United States is now The New United States, a security-obsessed, isolationist state policed by humanoid robots. After over a decade living in a post-apocalyptic, prison-like Los Angles, a man plays The Raffle to gain entry into The New United States. He hopes to reunite with his wife and daughter who flew east before the fateful attack on LA on July 4, 2016, but when security is emphasized over freedom, what will navigating The New United States entail if he wins?
