One Grain of Sand by David Somerfleck

The Science Fiction Epic Saga Begins

 

Summary

What would you do if you lived in a near-future United States of America in which the President has declared weekend minority culling “Passes” legal?

In which citizens must compete in reality TV programs for citzenship, healthcare, the right to travel, to vote, for higher education, or the “freedom” to live in private segregated communities?

In which tribes of hybrid creatures live in primitive outlier compounds scattered throughout the country; societal outcasts and rejects from government-sponsored human genome experiments gone awry?

What would you do if you were falling for a beautiful biracial climatologist and artist who might be a member of a radical “terrorist” network?

And whose twin sister “might” be part of that group or the oppressive government it seeks to remove?

And you knew someone, somewhere, probably has placed a bullseye on your own head?

This is the future in which Noah Harpster, humble incongruent anachronism, pickpocket, and three-time loser, finds himself cast.

Like you, he’s got some tough decisions to make with too few options.

To the government, and everyone else, he’s just one more grain of sand in society’s anonymous hourglass.

And time’s running out….
