Keepers of Men

To her own people, to those who know her most intimately, the America of 2026 has become a barren wasteland of corruption and tyranny. Cameras line the streets, separatists are hunted like dogs, and State satellites peer into the very homes.

But two such diametrically opposite worlds cannot coexist for long.

A young separatist by the name of Kristian, an escaped felon, a beautiful reporter, an old man, and a nuclear physicist must all find a way to fight together or they will die alone when these two worlds collide in an epic struggle for survival.
