A safe life or a free life.

She can’t have both.

Fifty years after the war that destroyed civilization, the survivors have rebuilt inland away from the toxic coasts. The rich have nanomeds that keep them healthy. For the rest, an early death beckons.

Self-reliant and curious, Mouse grew up on the streets and made her own luck. Finding work as a domestic meant a home and security for Mouse in a military family with two brothers. One is charming, the other shuns her.

Shot down in a terrifying crash, Mouse meets the charismatic rebel leader Julius who wants nanotechnology for all. A single reckless decision sets in motion a train of events which turns her secure, reliable world upside down. Pursued by government forces, her need to protect herself is threatened by conflicting feelings of love, loyalty and guilt.

 

Kevin Barron

 

Usually to be found at the bottom of the world in New Zealand, and sometimes in his native Britain, Kevin is a writer, business consultant, improv performer and father.

Unable to keep to a single genre, his novels are currently science fiction and fantasy, but he also publishes travel, business and nonsense verse. There really aren’t enough hours in the day, so he should just stop mucking about.

Here’s a taste of my other books or look here for them all.
