Sord in Prosperity [#postapocalyptic #apocalypse #dystopian] by Blade Cort; A Genetic Engineering Science Fiction Novel; Book 6 of 7 in the Predictable Paths series
_______________________________
Sord was born after the second Great Debacle. He's a normal teen, attending high school in Prosperity, the domed nation-state that arose from the ashes of a second Great Debacle that left the species clinging to a very tenuous edge.
Prosperity is humanity's last gasp at creating a viable, long-lasting society, one based on principles of how people should treat each other and themselves - and not much else.
He lives alone with his mother, a refugee from outside encampments where life remains violent and harsh. But Sord knows little of that strife and pain, given the relative safety of the domes in their protective nation state.
Perhaps it's teen angst, but Sord longs to live freely as humans once did, before the two recent Debacles. To help him understand those times, his mother makes him read his ancestor's unpredictable diary, which on the surface seems utterly boring to the 16-year-old.
Trouble seems to trail him, just like it did his ancestor. First, there's the moto incident, then the racnines, and more. Luckily, he finds an ebullient new girlfriend, and they embark on an edgy adventure together to discover the truth about his father's mysterious death. Will that lead to more trouble?
