Earth, 2090: At the end a twenty-five year odyssey including a decade long journey that covered five hundred million miles, Frank Gilbert finally touches ground on his father's native planet after being stranded alone many years ago orbiting a distant moon.

He is thrilled with what he finds. Fresh, clean air, an abundance of food and water, a disease-free population, and prevailing peace. Has human society finally attained utopia?

Frank's euphoria ends when he discovers that the utopian society he stands on is merely a façade that masks a cruel, class-driven world wherein people are grown like crops, and ruled by a brilliant, ruthless, behind-the-scenes dictator. On top of his startling discovery, Frank is riddled with more underlying mysteries. Can he trust the enigmatic, astonishingly beautiful reporter Caress Sumner? What is the story behind the exotic, fiery Elsa Chen? Who is the mysterious Mata Hari?

Driven by a compulsion to set things right, Frank joins with a team dedicated to deposing a powerful dictator --- and to restoring Earth's society to one driven By The People.

Adventure novelist HG Robb creates a riveting, thought-provoking tale about a technology driven societal evolution that has run amok, about the dynamics of human nature and human society, and the steep price for losing sight of our values and forgetting that our tomorrows depend on what we do today. A certified page-turner, By The People stands as the momentous debut offering.
