My ultimate goal, the goal of others who think like me, is simple and has been around longer than any of us: we want leaders who treat us and everyone else around the world as they themselves would want to be treated. If you wouldn’t want the Tyranny’s men kicking down your door and shooting you dead, then don’t allow it to happen to others. If you wouldn’t want your country invaded and terrorized, don’t do these things to other countries. If you don’t want all of your actions and words monitored, don’t treat everyone else like a criminal. If the leaders could only remember to treat others as they would want to be treated, there would never be a tyranny to fight against.

That’s why I’m leaving this book to be found, so whoever recovers it can remind everyone of the importance of these things. I had the ability to bury a treasure of immeasurable wealth in place of this book. Someone could have dug down deep into the earth and found chests full of rubies and gold. Maybe, with that fortune, they could have done something to combat the Tyranny. But if the Tyranny has taught me anything, it’s that there are things more valuable in this world than riches. Compassion is more important. So is having trust in the people elected to represent you. But most of all, ideas are more important than anything I could have buried underground. As long as people hold tight to their values, to the ideas I’ve written about here, the Tyranny can never form.

In much of life, there is little difference between something that is good for you and something that is lethal. Tiny differences here and there are the difference between people being free or living in fear. If you never forget that, if you tell everyone you know and they never forget it, these writings will have served their purpose.

I implore you, never forget.

As always, I am indebted to many people for their support: Jodie McFadden, for her constant encouragement and optimism; Matt Butterweck, for his eagle eye and his comments on the story; and everyone at Authors On The Air, GoodReads, and in the BJJ and MMA communities who read my other novels and recommended them to their friends. Without their support, I would be nowhere.
