The Republic

A hungry nation teeters on the precipice.

Rationing. Protests. Food riots.

The population grows restless as their bellies contract.

A single hope remains to save the country from starvation -- a genetically modified miracle entrusted to Commissioner Kai Ming. Ming is only providing transport, but it's a heavy burden for a lowly civil servant. Even worse when things go sideways and Ming is forced to watch as an unruly mob publicly executes someone he calls a friend.

To avenge his friend's death and save the country, Ming must make allies in unexpected places, and put into motion a devilish plan. The fates may have taken his friend from this world, but they can't shake his conviction.

Fans of Wool, Dune, and Battlestar Galactica will enjoy this standalone science fiction thriller about a futuristic Republic on the brink of an uprising.
