   Summary

   Richard Harkness was a brilliant journalist. Which was to say, he didn't ask the wrong questions and wrote what he was told.
   And because he was a brilliant (obedient) journalist he had been offered the extraordinary honor of being the first member of the press to be able to write about the Long Walk from the inside, riding alongside the 50 young men who were walking for the honor and pride of a nation.
   Richard didn't plan on becoming disillusioned so soon by the Walk. He hadn't planned on meeting Sergeant Stebbins, a soldier working as his liaison for the Long Walk. He certainly hadn't planned to fall in love with him and in turn falling into a deep network of rebels who planned on overturning the current regime starting with the Major and ending the Long Walk once and for all.
   He also hadn't planned on being back covering the Walk for a second time, this time with knowledge that could get him and the man he loved killed.
