Eena is discouraged because the Sovereignty Movement has reached an all-time low, and martial law increasingly cramps the workers' freedom. The students, pulled from the university to work at Onmatson Farm, labor under deplorable conditions. The cloned babies still face a dehumanized future. And Caellum, the leader who's presumed dead, slinks about in Transtopia's shadows until the oppressed farm hands revolt. How will Biate, ensconced in Denver Airport and called "The Mad Queen," impact the power struggle between Imperial Governor Charles Scholtz and the Sovereignty Seekers. Her unbeatable military force, and her connection to a powerful A.I., worries Dora and Caellum. So does her determination to obtain a child-not just any child, but a child of royal lineage-because when Dora gives birth to Michael, he's the only such child around. a compelling speculative/visionary tale, with post-apocalyptic elements, to bring the past full circle into the future, in this third book in the "New Earth Chronicles" series.
