Nefarious: (adj.) Wicked, villainous, despicable That's exactly how I feel about the government of the United States. It's the year 3124 and global warming is a very severe and current issue. The earth is mainly all desert and temperatures average over 100 degrees. 46.7% of the population is already dead, due to poverty and their inability to attain proper resources. On the other hand, the lucky 13.2% of the population that are on the opposite end of the spectrum (the big politicians, millionaires, and billionaires) have moved on to Mars. Mars is the epitome of luxury. The whole planet is covered in wealth. However, the governments of Mars and the United States are quickly realizing that in order to keep the human race alive, saving only the wealthy, is not the answer. Their solution is simple. They will hold a competition. It will last 8 weeks and it will expose the strongest and smartest people that earth has to offer. The lucky group of people that have been deemed the best, will get the opportunity of a life time, the choice to move to Mars. For Siena Williams the choice is an easy one. She has dreamed of what living on Mars would be like ever since she could think. When she enters the competition she meets her biggest competitor. Logan Bailey. They form an unlikely bond and form an alliance. But when the competition gets trickier she will be forced to make difficult decisions. And wrong decisions may cost her, her own life.

Akropolis

"Any thought you ever had; memories, desires, your fears and your dreams, are all recorded and stored safely in the Quantum Cloud for your eventual revival. Death is now merely a transitional period to the next stage of your existence. As a QUBIT (quantum processing biosynthetic), you will experience a life free of disease and suffering. Time is no longer your enemy. Regret is a thing of the past. Each new day brings the promise of endless possibilities, spent in the pursuit of your own happiness, guiltless with the knowledge that there are no longer earthly constraints to inhibit you. This is the life you have always wanted. Welcome to your new beginning..." Akropolis is a city at the end of times, a sanctuary where the brightest and best have been housed since the last Great War. A genome defect has afflicted the majority of the population and scientists are desperate to find a cure. In the meantime, man has found his own salvation in the form of the QUBIT (quantum processing bio-synthetic), an android that is capable of prolonging life almost indefinitely, and yet what makes them human in the first place has been lost in the transition. The ruling council believes that salvation is nigh, but whether that hope arrives in time is questionable. The city's future depends upon the actions of a few individuals, all of whom are struggling with their own mortality. Quentin is the boy who dreams of death. Mia is the tortured soul. Trey is the soldier that defines duty. Misao is the future of the ruling council. Claire is the girl with a secret that will rock the foundations of their entire civilization. Unbeknownst to them, the entire fate of Akropolis lies in their hands. Either humanity will find a way to survive or it will sink slowly into the sea of extinction.
