In this novel, Rory Flynn, son of Matt Flynn, the co-inventor of the Red Box Antigravity Device, which revolutionized global transportation, is the billionaire grandfather of Nolan Flynn. Grandpa takes his 17-year-old grandson on a weeklong tour of the national capital region. Their Turbopod multi-vehicle (T-Pod) carries them to key sites around the Chesapeake Bay. The journey begins and ends at the family home, Beauvista, overlooking Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. The purpose of the tour is to educate the young man about the many "ISMs" like Americanism, Federalism, Racism, Socialism and Communism. In addition to the Capitol, the duo visits museums, galleries, monuments, golf courses and French restaurants. Grandpa wants his grandson to "smell the roses along the way." The youth has a rude awakening during a visit to a Middle School where the ugliness of the white versus black racism is, taught. The role of the Teacher's Unions in brainwashing the students with racism in order to divide the country for the Socialist government is clear. In addition, Nolan gets a lifetime lesson about how the Chinese Communists have infiltrated American society in preparation for a complete take-over. In the end, Nolan realizes why the Flynn Family has been dedicated to the fight against Socialism and Communism for decades. The tour convinces the savvy, youth to take up the torch for American Patriotism. He takes pride in his new vision, much like that of the Bald Eagle, to dedicate his life to the fight against the ugly "ISMs" attempting to end our Democracy and Free-Enterprise economy and turn our country into a Third-World state controlled by Beijing.
