Back Cover: In the year 2229, Jerome Carter and his Gang of Ten run the government of United North America from the shadows. With the iron fist of business acumen, they fear only one thing: a leader who can motivate the working class, called the Gray, to revolt. Philip Barton, born one of the elite, is that man. Barton is exiled, along with his wife and associates. What his enemies don't realize is that Barton and his airship yacht are not all they appear to be. On the run from government agents, Barton escapes to a secret location known as Barton's Island. Can he elude the thugs from the government long enough to lead the workers of the world to a new era? Barton's Island combines action, adventure, and science fiction to create a tension-filled battle between the government forces and the everyday man.
This story was originally published in 1929 but is set in the far future. A man Jerome Carter runs things from behind the scenes with a ruthless hand. Philip Barton is in his way so he has the government send him, his wife and friends into exile. But Philip has a plan. For a story that was written so long ago it feels like something that could have been written today. Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down. I loved reading this book and only wished that it was longer.
