"Hope" and "Hopeless"

This is two books. "Hope" follows the lives and loves of a group of children and their families from the 1950s to the early 1990s. It revolves around their aspirations and struggle for survival, their successes and failures. There is murder and mayhem and a dark underpinning sense of humour that takes place under the continental quilt of the valley environment. There is also a mystery to solve in terms of the main character’s love life, this unwinds as the possible candidates are eliminated before his real love is revealed. It deals with the difficulty of growing, relationships, infidelity, sexuality, and injustice. There is tragedy and death and how death is dealt with.
Morgan has been born near perfect in every way in terms of physicality. His domineering, autocratic mother has instilled a sense of fairness in him and he uses his luck and skills to form an organization that will rival any billionaire, but his aim is more altruistic than most in this category. He wants fairness and justice and sets about this by beating the Capitalists at their own game.
The powers that be monitor and eventually try to bring down this ‘empire’ by infiltration and evil intent. The story unfolds and reveals some shocking events.
The second book, "Hopeless", is set in the 1990s and early 2000s and takes a darker tone: the establishment is closing in on Morgan’s foundation, believing that its model, if it spread, would change the very fabric of society.
The third book in the trilogy will follow when the 2020’s have been confined to the history books.
