The Balance (Sample Chapters from the Book and a New Appendix to the story)
People in the Land survived the destruction of the last world war only to have their lives disrupted again by a wayward asteroid that broke up to rain down on the planet, just as life had begun to regain a sense of normalcy. This second tragedy also disturbed the power-sharing arrangement between two leading factions that had helped rebuild the Land-the Council, and the Order-in an agreement called The Balance. The Council leadership exploited the chaos to drive the Order and its members into exile, ad they began banning the use of most modern technology, which the Council had long blamed for the war. Phoebe is the last remaining product of the Order's genetic engineering programs that still lives under Council rule. She doesn't understand why she's so different from everyone else, and struggles to survive, hiding what she is.
