Opis

Exodus, a city built in the clouds. A city built for its inhabitants to live free in the sky from the turmoil of endless war below: where citizens live without fear, and everyone works for what they earn with the sweat of their brow and the limits of their ambition; a paradise, which soars above the world, where people live like the Gods we read about in books. It is this floating kingdom that Elliot Rhodes, a private investigator from the surface, finds himself propositioned to come to in order to find a Founder's missing daughter, Noelle. In a city where everyone is addicted to DNA manipulating drugs called 'Elixyrs, ' the job will prove more difficult than any previous undertaking. However, when he finds the girl, he uncovers a conspiracy where everyone has their own agenda, and the sunny facade of paradise gives way to a corruption the investigator thought he'd left behind. Together, it will take Rhodes and Noelle every bit of cunning and teamwork to escape with their lives. Told through an intense and twisting narrative that touches on themes of religion, sexual abuse, and addiction. The story of the triumphs and failures of a man and what he's willing to do to protect an innocent life.
