A Broken Race

Humanity, as it once was, is broken

Inside a fortress, the few remaining women live in a vault far below the men who labor for their survival and the walls that protect them all. A virus in generations past and inbreeding since, has left average men severely outnumbered by Simples.

Outside those walls live the Wildmen who are desperate for the treasures of the fortress. Seeking women to once again fill their ranks with healthy children and something other than rats to fill their stomachs, they launch one last raid. One of them makes it inside alive.

One-fifty-two is a Simple. The raid fills his world with smoke and fear. Seeking the comfort of his mother and emboldened by the promises of a Wildman captive, his eyes are opened to the secrets behind the order he has always known. What he does with that knowledge may save humanity or lead them all to extinction.
