Forthcoming post-apocalyptic novel in spring 2019:
Phantoms of Apocalypse
by Jon Kofas.
Published by:
"Dr. Stein believes
that the solution to the pandemic in late 22nd century America rests
with his experiment of the first post-plague bio-engineered human. His goal and
that of his partner Red carrying the bio-engineered baby is to escape the
electronic-fenced city of New Heaven, Iowa. Under the cloud of the plague where
the majority are infected, survival is a daily struggle behind electric-fenced
cities. To feed the virus and maintain their health, the infected resort to
physical violence and psychological aggression. Free of virus symptoms, a
minority of the population known as mutants are relegated to ghettos. In a world of humans with biosynthetic organs operating
with the aid of cybernetic devices engineered to withstand the polluted
environment, Dr. Stein, Red, and Sarah dream of a world where they would be
able to distinguish people living free from androids serving their infected
masters. Melody, Dr. Stein and Red's bio-engineered child growing up in
northern Canada’s wilderness, represents new hope for humanity. That is, until young
Melody decides to return to New Heaven to be a part of the world from which her
biological mother and her lab-creator father Dr. Stein escaped.”
