All Keith Maryland wanted was to start a new job away from the crumbling United States of America... and he thought he'd found it in the prestigious U.N. Worldfarm Project, deep in the heart of Brazil. But between native distrust and managerial prejudice against "Estados," and local authorities that automatically associate him with an illegal drug trade in the area—threatening to expose a secret he'd rather stay hidden—Keith isn't sure whether this was the best, or the worst, move he could've made.
Sometimes, being a foreigner can
suck.

Worldfarm One is a story of survival, of fighting the odds and the barriers thrown up against immigrants, and of redemption, set against a too-believable backdrop of the world's possible political and agricultural future.
It's a backdrop many people don't want to see: The day when the once-powerful United States of America is a shadow of its former self, and its residents find themselves escaping to other countries to find the fortunes that cannot get at home; the day when the United Nations is the last organization left that is able to carry the mantle of World Power; the day when Americans become the "wretched refuse," the immigrants to other shores that are treated as badly as their parents once treated immigrants to America.
But the story is familiar to all: The drive of one man to overcome those obstacles, many unfairly put in front of him, in an effort to make good in a new home; and the conflicts, distrust, conspiracies, and love he encounters along the way.
Worldfarm One is available in multiple ebook formats, at a great price and with No DRM... as per the usual deals you get from Right Brane ePublications.
