Do you enjoy dystopian, post apocalyptic stories - like Divergent, Hunger Games or Wool? Do you like science fiction short stories that are action packed and easy to consume in one sitting?
If you answered 'Yes' to either of those, then you are almost guaranteed to fall in love with the "Future's Fight" story and its characters.
Mankind's abuse of the planet reached a critical point. The earth could not sustain the number of humans that lived on its surface. Decades of famine, disease and war brought the human species to the brink of extinction.
To preserve the human race, underground cities were built.
Two hundred years after the abandonment of the surface, one underground city is discovering that social segregation and populace control by propaganda can have a very negative effect...
The underground cities may remind you of the dystopian future of the Wool series by Hugh Howey. However, in Future's Fight Stacy Welsh takes it a step further by creating characters with knowledge of what humanity did to destroy Earth, and a distinct class system of bottom dwellers those more fortunate who live in the upper levels.
Through this we get a much more complex social struggle, highlighted by the relationship between sisters Sophie and Elizabeth.
Future's Fight - Episode 1: The Angels of Abaddon puts you immediately into the middle of the action as lower level resistance activities to fight for equality and better living conditions are escalating. For the first time in their young adult lives, both Elizabeth and Sophie start to question each other's loyalty.
Episode 1 will capture your attention from the moment in Chapter 1 where Sophie and Elizabeth are separated by an "accident" - and keep your mind racing right up until the last word of Chapter 6. FYI - don't brush over the last sentence.

About the Author: Stacey Welsh wrote her first story in her sleep, well, actually she dreamed it up in one night and then was so compelled to get the story out that she went and blew $500 bucks on a netbook so she could get her first novel "Scarlett Blade: The Bandit Queen" out to the world. Though her first book hasn't reached the acclaim that many famous authors have achieved, Stacey continued on. Publishing three more e-books before she started u a free science fiction, fantasy and horror magazine called "Far Horizons." It started in April 2014 and has been going on strong since. The aim of Far Horizons is to provide a launching place for new authors and artists, to showcase their work and get them a little bit of experience in the publishing industry. Alongside the monthly e-magazine, Far Horizons also produces several anthologies. In sci fi author Stacey Welsh's first book "The Angels of Abaddon" of her new series "Future's Fight", it's clear the future is not very bright at all. In fact, it is quite the dystopian science fiction horror. The future of this science fiction genre series is a post-apocalyptic world that is split between the wealthy and privileged who live in relative safety and comfort in the upper levels of an underground city, while the poor and unconnected are forced to try to survive in the crime invested underbelly. "I'm beyond passionate about 'Future's Fight' and have put a huge amount of thought and work into developing the world it takes place in," commented Welsh about her new series. "Our hopes are to see the books bring in a large amount of engaged fans so we can not only enjoy seeing the story develop together, but one day even see it brought to the screen. 'Future's Fight' is very visual fast-paced adventure that could come to life on many different platforms." Early feedback from users has been passionate - including it being called one of the "best new sci fi books".
