When I read the description for this book, I was intrigued. When the synopsis is something that could actually occur, I know I’ll be asking questions as I read the story.
This is a chilling depiction of what may lie ahead in the future.

Book Description:
A Death Sentence on Your 60th Birthday is Just the Beginning…
It’s Hank Reed’s birthday. As a citizen of the United Federation of Nations that means a mandatory death sentence simply because he turned sixty years old. Referred to as “retirement,” it’s one of the desperate steps the government has taken to curb overpopulation. Retirement is a widely accepted fact of life on a dying planet ruled by a tyrannical government. Hank’s execution goes ahead as planned but state sponsored euthanasia isn’t what it seems. The Reed family learns what really happens to retirees when secrets the UFN keep from the public start to unravel.
This book is intended to be read by adults and may be unsuitable for children under 17. Contains indecent language and descriptions of graphic violence.
