In a chilling utopia serviced by reanimated dead, a contract police detective must decide between saving humankind or his wife. Soon after its founding, the Opulent Life Option Corporation (a.k.a. OLO) replaces the North American Republic’s workforce with resurrected corpses. They brand their unhuman creations Bags. The strangling OLO Inflation that follows forces the masses to consider the question posed by the corporation’s ubiquitous advertisements: “Is a decade of pleasure better than a lifetime of suffering?” Most are forced by starvation to accept OLO’s contract in exchange for an opulent life that ends when they are processed into Bags on the ten-year anniversary of signing. The stubborn few that decide to brave life in OLO’s world as uncontracteds must compete on the streets to feed themselves and families. OLO’s survival is threatened when Brandon Kirby, the company’s founder, disappears with the formula for producing Bags and fumbles it into the hands of a contract police detective named Leon Deer. Leon must then choose between saving humankind from OLO’s ravenous appetite or satisfying an obsession to save his wife’s corpse from a nightmarish existence servicing wealthy Maestros in a brothel. As Leon burrows under the surface of OLO’s dystopian world, he discovers a mystery that leads beyond his reality to a shocking secret about OLO, his wife, and himself. The Opulent Life Option is a condensed, stand-alone version of The Rise of the Light Catchers series. The series delves deeper into the characters, introduces new storylines, and delivers several twists that will surprise even those who read the stand-alone novel. The Rise of the Light Catchers series was written with the intent that it be read sequentially. Readers should start with Book#1, Dawn of the Light Catchers, so they can follow the narrative in proper order.
