Welcome to Fellowship City, where the Haves are super-powered, and the Have-Nots are just like you.
The
Mighty have all the wealth, fame, power, and superpowers, but even
they are subject to the monastery’s control. To maintain peace,
telepathic monks see into the past, present, and future to police the
other Mighty and the minority of powerless Citizens, who have nothing
but their identity tags tattooed on their wrists.
Twenty-year-old
Mario lives with his kid sister in one of the many camphouses on the
island south of the city. Unlike the other citizens he stands in line
with every morning waiting to be bussed to work, he actually likes
his downtown job and the Mighty restaurateur who employs him.
At
least, he did.
This
morning, the grisly, undetected murder of his boss changes
everything. In a flash, Mario becomes the primary suspect and must
race against time to prove his innocence in a world that oppresses
the powerless.

Sounds like an interesting sci-fi take on the problems of society today. Definitely worth a read.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kari! Yeah, I definitely insert a lot of social commentary in the story. I hope you check it out and let me know what you think :)
DeleteI don't read horror. The cover is very strong and eye catching.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary. The story has a lot going on and the horror is an element. It's more of a thriller. But if you don't like 80s slasher flicks, it may not be right for you. I hope you'll give it a chance though ;)
DeleteThis looks really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
