Opis

Follow the adventures of Paisley and Colt as they travel from Bavaria, Germany to Orlando, Florida as castaways aboard an ocean liner on a mission to free their families and change the world. The ship is home to the royals, the mercenaries, droves of servants, and Paisley's captive sister and mother. The virus that quarantined the world for twelve years has been eradicated, but now the real fight for survival begins. Their quest for democracy is resisted by mercenaries who kill for no reason and the powerful royals. Both want the world to stay in their control. The Consortium of the World is meeting to decide the fate of the world. The race is on to see which faction wins out. In this new world, decisions are made by those who do not cherish life and human trafficking and unethical medical care are the norm. Unlikely heroes emerge. The Uncounteds are the unregistered populace sold by the mercenaries. The Undesirables are flawed people not considered worthy to live. Servants and owned individuals are afraid to wage war for their rights. Colt and Paisley are forced by circumstances to train untested legions of children for battle, but their hope is that it will not come to that and peace will win out. How can this group of misfits with no power change anything?
