Congratulations! You have been selected by the Foundation to take part in a social experiment for the duration of 365 days. Do not waste time. Use your card to purchase anything you like, and you will never be responsible for paying anything back monetarily. Failure to comply with any and all of the rules of the program may result in serious consequences, deathly consequences . . . The Card Program is the brainchild of an eccentric billionaire and operated by the Foundation, a covert division of the US government. One man pulls the strings of the cardholders he treats like puppets-Colonel Putnam. Day by day, each cardholder wields their unlimited buying power for one extravagance after another. As they cross the line and break the strict rules of the program, Putnam hunts them down and makes them play by his rules or else . . . When the Colonel and his henchman cross too far over the line and the body count starts to rise, who will bring him to justice? Can the cardholders find each other in time to ban together and bring him down, or will Putnam crush them in the process? Will the government reel in one of their own, or will everything explode around them? From the mines of West Virginia to the shores of Mexico, you will be transported on an exciting journey around the states and into foreign lands. Come along on this thrilling adventure of suspense and intrigue as page after page brings you closer to the climactic conclusion of The Card.
