Life on a farm can change in an instant, and for high school junior Michael Doyle, it did. He watches his parents die when their tractor flips in the field, and then inheritance tax strips him of the land his parents sacrificed everything for.
Taken in by his uncle, a wealthy commodities trader in Chicago, he adjusts to life in the big city while trying to hold on to what remained of his life back home. He doesn't settle into life in Chicago well and faces an urban environment that mocks every aspect of agricultural life.
Disillusioned by collegiate life, he drops out and takes a job working for his uncle as a trader. His math proficiency and farming knowledge allow him to master commodities trading quickly and become a rising star at Doyle Investments. The disconnect between financial success of farmers and the commodities industry sends him on a personal quest to level the playing field.
He devises a plan to empower farmers, raise crop prices, and kick the commodities industry in the gut. Unfortunately his plan involves planting hundreds of bombs in fields across the nation. The question is, how many will die before the point is made? Will Perseus and his network find Michael before the FBI? Will his Seeds of Change turn America back towards supporting its farmers?
Genre: Mystery
