“A brilliant and believable dystopia, a 21st century version of 1984 or Gilead from The Handmaid's Tale.”
What if life had a use-by date?
A New World Council runs the planet, a perfect world in their view, where everyone and everything has a time and place–even death.
Blythe Harrell is a man very much on the inside of the system–but the more he sees, the more broken he understands things to be. Yet to challenge anything is to challenge it all. Even his own place at the very top.
Through medical advances, most life-threatening diseases have been defeated. Yet underlying the whole system, a human-cancer grows.
When Blythe discovers his wife is expecting, their unborn child carrying one of the last incurable diseases–a death sentence to most–he’s forced to confront the truth about the world around him.
Genre: Thriller
