A major focus of the novel is the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. The disputed 2000 Presidential election is decided by the Electoral College, with a Green being selected as vice-President in exchange for giving the Democrats their ten electoral votes for president. The President dies in late August 2001 following the use of a genetically-engineered sex drug. The Green's Rachel Moreno becomes president. The novel imagines how America would have responded to 9/11 if a Green had been president. Moreno orders one of the hijacked planes shot down and pursues bin Laden as a criminal fugitive. The novel also explores how 9/11 occurred, outlining why the Bush administration has fought so hard to block the investigation of 9/11. The novel outlines the philosophy of the international green movement. The Greens are the third largest political party in the US and are active in more than 80 countries worldwide. More than 200 Greens hold elected office in the US, include a majority of the Village of New Paltz. The Greens are part of the national or state governments in two dozen countries. The Green Party will hold its national convention June 23-28 in Milwaukee to select its presidential candidate for 2004. Rachel Moreno, a nurse and single mother active in the movement for universal health care and against corporate globalization, becomes Madame President. Her efforts to build a more just world are confronted by an angry Congress determined to go to war and CEOs outraged about her Justice Department's prosecution of corporate crime. Forced to confront the pressing social issues of our time, Rachel puts into practice a Green vision for the environment, health care, feminism, racism, energy and foreign policy. The book also explores the key social, environmental and culture challenges of the last two decades: global warming, globalization, same-sex marriages, apartheid, Redwood Summer, health care, AIDS, pesticides, Ecofeminism, nuclear power, welfare, water, corporate crime, campaign finance reform, Israel-Palestine, childcare, Colombia, solar power, civil disobedience, music, Indy Media, anarchism, pay equality.
