Stand Alone is based on a real document written in 2002, copyrighted in 2003 by the author. From the scathingly cynical pejorative derogatory of the prologue, setting up the struggles of the main character to implement his vision for healthcare in America in a corrupt society and political system. It follows the Old Guy as he searches for allies to help him implement his strategy to reform healthcare and fight government actors, assassination, and politicians and their appointees. The systematic logical implementation accruing populist support, financial support, and potential for success are augmented with rich development of the characters and their relationships.
