Synopsis:
One thousand years after a cataclysmic event leaves humanity on the brink of extinction, the survivors take refuge in continuums designed to sustain the human race until repopulation of Earth becomes possible. Against this backdrop, a group of young friends in the underwater Thirteenth Continuum dream about life outside their totalitarian existence, an idea that has been outlawed for centuries. When a shocking discovery turns the dream into a reality, they must decide if they will risk their own extinction to experience something no one has for generations, the Surface.

Wow!!! Well this could be very exciting. How does one think about this kind of situation and write a book about it? As soon as I start I actually think this is in our near future maybe not in the next fifty years but soon. AN how do you just go outside your worlds laws and endanger yourself? when you know that you could possibly help the world you live in expand and repopulate. SOunds exciting. An the cover gives nothing away just how I like it.
ReplyDeleteThe premise sounds exciting and intriguing. I'd love to read the 13th Continuum. Just love dystopian sci-fi.
