EDITORS COMMENTS: "This is a well crafted tale of a not-too-implausible future.

You have incorporated a distinct narrative voice and your descriptions are quite detailed and well composed, allowing the reader to visualize the events, characters and settings. Very nice work!" Vonda, at First Editing A MEDICAL MIRICLE HAS CURED ALL DISEASES Nature has taught us that when a species outgrows its environment the results are starvation, violence and eventually cannibalism. Now that species is human. Jason Randal finds himself in the middle of civilizations collapse, wanting only to get out of the way with his wife, Catherine, and survive if they can. Betrayed and imprisoned, he sees little hope of reaching her or safety, until the beginning of a revolution offers a chance of escape. His perilous race to reach Catherine brings him in contact with a group of young people, considered fugitives by the military government. With their help, he rescues her from the brutal leader of the rebels, liberates hundreds more and escapes with enough supplies for them all to start over somewhere safe. Carley Ross and her lover Boone, accompany them into the mountains in search of a safe place to weather the coming storm. The young couple's skill in the wilderness proves invaluable, but Carley's headstrong attempt to return home brings Jason and Catherine back to the front lines. There they discover the government's horrifying plan to bring the population to a sustainable level.
