Splicer

In Avalis the monsters already won. And almost everyone accepts it. Humanity didn’t fall in battle, they fell piece by piece. It started with the politicians and the Elite. Pacifying the masses with cheap distractions of the Virtual Realm and Communicators and a credit system that forces everyone to claw for survival. At the end of every Cycle the poor and the homeless are flushed from the Sewers while the Elites attend the Cycle’s End Gala.  Nobody questions what happens to the Sewer Rats, nobody cares, as long as it’s not them. Eiona Dolgaran keeps her head down, one brother married an Elite and pretends she doesn’t exist, her other brother was taken in a raid. Her mother lost to the Sewers. Survival is having enough credits to stay out of the Sewers. When a night out on The Strip is torn apart by explosions, Eiona isn’t arrested, she’s recruited. The Collaboration, the underground rebel group, pulls back the curtain on Avalis, bioengineering, neuromodulation, Breeding Farms and more. Eiona joins, and discovers she may be the key to bringing the world back to how it was. Splicer is a dystopian sci-fi thriller about complicity, survival, and what it costs to finally fight back.
