Premise:
More than a hundred years since a major reckoning known as The Turning, mostly long forgotten by survivors, life has simplified to Tribalism. There is no electricity, no supermarkets, and no city life. Humanity has taken steps backward. This is the age of survival, recovering from a wound no one wants to confront or even remember.
Resurrected from the World Unturned, a train carrying a band of vagabonds preach a new way of life, but destroy any way that does not conform. Along their way is a village called Bruxie, harboring the families of Orr and Julia.
While on an outing to retrieve water from a river a few days away, Bruxie is eviscerated.When Orr and Julia return, there is nothing left. The two seek revenge and search for answers. They set off on a journey through the warped world referred to as Atlandia, affected by an evolution of extreme science and nature. The further they go, the deeper and darker it gets. Through psychological thrills, hallucinogenic realism, and a different way to look at science fiction, A Dark Blue Marble takes the reader on a tour de force that leaves you breathless and maybe a paper cut.
