2984:
Three races populate our planet: Land-walkers, Sea-Dwellers, and Cloud-Riders. Color and ethnicity ceased to be an issue centuries earlier, but wealth and domination are still the bane of mankind. The paperback edition features seven chapters plus supplementary information. Only Chapter Two (Fighting the System--click on above image for link), Chapter 4 (Rebel Defiance), Chapter 5 (Bitter Departure, and Chapter 7 (Double Betrayal) are available in an e-book version. I don't plan on wading further into this narrative until The Power of Ancients is completed (famous last words). The story concept, however, has been well-received by industry experts as a viable high-concept novel.
