✦ Synopsis

If you like a fast-paced dystopian sci-fi thriller with unexpected twists, this is for you!
BOOK ONE - Captive - By the year 2120, the world has changed dramatically. Few plants or animals have survived climate change and the human population has dropped to 3 billion. For those who live in the affluent northern nations, life is made comfortable by an artificial intelligence called The Gaia Machine. But for people living in the southern nations, life is tough. So tough, they must trade their young women as surrogates in exchange for fresh water. When Ophelia Alsop speaks out, she is abducted and imprisoned in a bizarre underworld where she discovers the shocking truth behind the surrogacy trade. And more. The question is - what's she going to do about it?
BOOK TWO - Fugitive - Having escaped imprisonment, Ophelia is now a fugitive. In transit, with a traumatized surrogate, she can never go back. She can only go forward, into a scorched and foreign land where she must deal with a fresh set of dangers and witness the personal and social consequences of the surrogacy trade. Spanning France and Spain, this part of Ophelia's journey sees her finally gaining momentum to take action against the Ruling Elite's Secret Service and end the surrogacy trade once and for all.
BOOK THREE - Liberator - Exhausted and desperate, Ophelia and her friends travel to Paris to join the resistance. Their mission is clear - to dismantle the surrogacy trade and reveal the power brokers behind the digital curtain. Planned to perfection, their infiltration of the bizarre underground and their attack on The Gaia Machine cannot fail. But, like all well-intentioned actions, the personal cost will be great.
BONUS CONTENT - Gaia Speaks - At the end of this book is a bonus short story, not published elsewhere. Written from the point of view of the antagonist - The Gaia Machine - this story reveals the logic behind the actions of the global A.I. that has maintained order across a divided planet for decades.
