Imagine; what we could do, if we could start afresh, knowing what we now know, using what we now have? Possessed wisdom, to abandon stale ideas of times passed, boldly picking out constituents of the future, free from shackling conventionality.  Achievable, not 'fantastical'.  

Ancient and modern history merge with unborn times, a forge to temper a novel, a near-future Utopian techno-thriller, exploring conflict lines, drawn between old and new, challenging conventionality. An excursion of humor, hope, vision and betrayal, founded on research; emerging technology, psychology, philosophy old and new, the economics of money creation and power politics. Insight into the origin of the fragmenting global order, real ways we could come out on top, told through the eyes of characters fated and courageous enough in the ensuing battle for survival, to become inspirational. 

The fight for the future, must never end.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
