The Raffle: The Complete Novel Parts 1-4 is the page-turning complete collection of The Raffle Series, originally released with Part 1 in January 2016 eerily predicting many impactful events in our country today. The year is 2027. After a biological, nuclear and electromagnetic attack on July 4, 2016 gave rise to a widespread blackout and racial war among Los Angeles inhabitants, Southern California is then isolated and quarantined away from the newly-organized The New United States (NUS), a security-obsessed, ultra-religious and isolationist country secretly policed by humanoid robots. But an annual raffle allows one candidate from the quarantined territory to enter the NUS, but only if the candidate is deemed worthy and virus-free. The attacks on Southern California separated our hero from his wife and daughter. The story commences with him finally managing to reach the last stage of the annual raffle after a decade of trying, and with it, the possibility of reuniting with his family in the NUS. What he does not know is that the NUS has programmed a new challenge for him before he can reunite with his family that will require him to travel across the NUS on an e-bike (electronic bicycle) by a certain number of days across territories that are segregated and unfriendly.
