While the Gods Sleep

In this future earth, if you're not connected, you simply don't exist. Ecological collapse, terrorism, and new, opportunistic viruses have devastated the entire planet. All faith in authority has vanished, and people are loyal only to their tribal networks. Zachary Crowe is a facially disfigured outcast who escapes a low-tech prison zone and begins a desperate search for his vanished wife. On the run from the authorities, he wanders the world alone -- without a network, friends, or life-enhancing technology. Hunted by a tribe that wants to cull his unadulterated genetic material, Zachary Crowe will soon discover the true nature of terror -- and the impossible price of love... "A spellbinding vision of the future realized in fantastic detail. This is what the human race is in for. The taste, the sound, the very feel of the future is written here -- and it's terrifying. -- JC Smith, author, The Pathless Land
