“...Riveting and frighteningly plausible.” — Kirkus Reviews


“…Supremely intense and fantastically imaginative….” — Readers’ Favorite




What would you do if you lived in a near-future United States of America in which the President has declared weekend minority culling "Passes" legal?

In which citizens must compete in reality TV programs for healthcare, the right to travel, higher education, or "freedom" to live in private segregated communities?

What would you do if you were falling for a beautiful biracial climatologist and artist who might be a member of a radical "terrorist" network?
And whose twin sister works for the very same government oppressing them all?

And you knew someone, somewhere, probably has placed a bullseye on your head?

This is the future in which Noah Harpster, humble incongruent anachronism, pickpocket, and three-time loser, finds himself cast.

Like you, he's got some tough decisions to make with too few options.

To the government, and everyone else, he's just one more grain of sand in society's colossal hourglass.

And time's running out....
