Breakfast with the Colonel

L’histoire

Résumé en anglais

The story is set in the near future. In a post-USA province called Pacifica, Colonel Casper Mach rules with an iron fist. In a fairly lame attempt at repackaging himself as a beloved media icon, he also appears each morning as host of a TV show, "Breakfast With The Colonel." Jack Sorenson, a citizen of Pacifica Province, has never considered himself a revolutionary. But after a missed rent payment and similar grievous offenses, he's declared "lifestyle dysfunctional" and the state sets about fulfilling his unrealized potential. Jack resists. Before long he's a fugitive, pursued by the Colonel's brutal militia. Ultimately Jack encounters the Colonel himself.
