Where do you run when the whole world is crumbling under the weight of human folly?
When the lethal Conformers invade 22nd century Pittsburgh, escape becomes the top priority for lovebird scavengers Alex and Eva. But after the cult brainwashes Eva, she and Alex navigate separate paths—paths that will take them into battle, to the Moon, and far beyond.
Between the Conformers’ mission to whittle the human race down to a loyal following and the monopolistic Space Harvest company hoarding civilization’s wealth, Alex believes humanity has no future. And without Eva, he has no future.
Until he meets Hannah and learns the secrets that change everything.
Plotting with her, he might have a chance to build a new paradise. But if he doesn’t stop the Conformers and Space Harvest first, paradise will turn into hell.
As a music lover and guy who used to love making mixtapes, it was inevitable. For each chapter of Dream Planet, I chose a pair of tunes that go perfectly--by theme, lyrics, or vibe. Enhance your reading experience with music!
