FatLand: The Early Days is Volume II of The FatLand Trilogy, both a sequel and a prequel to the fantasy/science fiction adventure FatLand: A Novel. In FatLand, the weight-oriented Pro-Health Laws of the US have become so oppressive that people seeking freedom over their bodies have established a new country where life is good and scales are forbidden. FatLand: The Early Days reveals a hidden history as three archivists set out to discover how FatLand began -- and quickly become aware that someone doesn't want them to know. Seven thousand miles away a woman summons the courage to write about FatLand's beginnings, knowing her life will be in danger the moment the FatLand Board receives her answer. As the four race to record their findings and insights, the early history of FatLand reveals itself in violence and heroism, and in the bravery, determination and treachery of its founders.
