Liberation
It's been over one hundred years since the ‘Year of Storms,’ a time when natural disasters decimated three-quarters of the world’s population. The hurricanes, tornadoes, and other catastrophes were the result of centuries of environmental abuse and the unchecked reaping of Earth’s natural resources.
Now, we live in a time where the difference between rich and poor is a matter of life and death. The World Council is slowly gaining ground in its battle to rebuild this world. In addition to global rationing, they’ve established the off-world outposts, settlements on the far-off planet of Argosa.
The outposts provide the resources needed to rebuild Earth’s cities and return them from the brink of devastation, and for those who chose to migrate to the outposts, they provide a means to make a better life.
Unfortunately, the greed of the rich and powerful is threatening to take it all away.

"I had to try."
It’s a fast-paced sci-fi adventure! Resolute Joe and maverick Zaalia are kicking the snot out of the Dominare society. There’s something for everyone in these pages. My favorite being the character arcs!
I would have liked the pace to slow down at some points in the journey. That’s only because I enjoy it when the characters toil and agonize with the weight of their decisions!
Still, have fun with this adventure. And enjoy meeting Aslan!

“Had to keep reading”
The adventure pulls you in… touches on challenges of our time and sparks imagination as you follow the moves of each colorful character. Really enjoyed the intricate development of each one, the good and the bad in human nature; and their relationships with each other… their sometimes agonizing decisions… the warm connections and the sacrifices made between parents and kids, boyfriends and girlfriends, friends.
Looking forward to Reclamation!
