Is your life on a downward spiral? Well, don't go postal, get intoxicated or send your money to a TV evangelist. Many people face unpleasant or dangerous circumstances from which escape is the only attractive option. But if identity change seems like too drastic a measure for you, a sabbatical from your current life might be just the ticket. Maybe all you need is a serious "time-out" – a chance to regroup, refocus, calmly evaluate your situation and weigh your options. Why not simply take a powder, cover your tracks to thwart any would-be pursuers and then return to your old life once the dust has settled? The author did, and in this book he shares the ins and outs of this option with you, including where to go, how to get there, what to take (and what to do with the stuff you don't take), where to stay when you get there, how to handle financial concerns and support yourself while in hiding, how to live comfortably and securely in your chosen refuge and how to return home when – and if – you decide to.

We're already compelled to carry a government-assigned number to get health care, enroll our children in school, open a bank account, drive a car, hold a job, buy stocks, or even rent a video. We endure scans, warrantless searches and inspections. Cameras peer at us everywhere. Rude and often ignorant "security screeners" pat us down at airports while we cower submissively. This book is for people who want to take steps, within their own lives and their communities, to ensure that the Surveillance Stops Here. As Wolfe writes, you can't have both freedom and a convenient, secure, go-along-to-get-along life. If you aren't willing to take personal risks, don't read this book.

Claire Wolfe is the author of The Freedom Outlaw's Handbook and I Am Not a Number, both published by Paladin Press. She is the coauthor, with Aaron Zelman, of the young-adult novel Rebelfire: Out of the Gray Zone. She is a regular contributor to S.W.A.T. magazine and Backwoods Home.
