Selected: Volume 1

In a country ripped apart by political and cultural divisions, where the economy has collapsed and violence, drug use, and racism are rampant, the government institutes a desperate and controversial program. Known only as The Selected, it grants a few randomly selected citizens - selected by their Social Security numbers - the ultimate power to police, judge and punish crimes they witness, including the right to execute on the spot.

Daniel Aurora is a 24-year-old burdened by guilt and moral compromise. Working for a medial insurance company notorious for denying people access to life-saving care, he's forced to follow the orders of his ruthless boss, Mark Bishop, who rewards employees for every claim they deny, no matter the suffering or death it causes. The job eats away at Daniel's soul, but he sees no way out. When Daniel is summoned for what he believes is routine jury duty his life forever changes.

The Selected is a gripping and suspenseful tale of power, corruption, and the human cost of unchecked authority in a broken world.
