CITIZEN ZERO: ANNOUNCEMENT

ANNOUNCEMENT

by Unknown on Nov.22, 2009, under ARCHIVE

Soon is a relative concept...

It is with a degree of sadness to report that Writers of Worlds, the new publisher that was in process of publishing Citizen Zero, currently languishes in limbo.

The concept of 'coming soon' has consequently stretched out to satirical proportions. With perhaps a degree of optimism that borders on the equally satirical, it is hoped that WoW will still progress eventually to its point of launch and take off accordingly, but for now matters remain on hold. That includes, alas, the publication of Citizen Zero.

For now, the author has opted to remain with the gestating publisher, so return to this space, or visit his other websites for more of his writing -- and news about the eventual fate of the novel.

So, watch this space...

Welcome To 'Broken Britain'

JobNet was supposed to usher in a better life for unemployed David Mills; instead it plunges him into a bitter struggle to survive when he becomes a pawn in a political conspiracy that pushes Britain to the brink of civil war...

“Those people are no-hopers.”

“And what does that make me?”

In a bitterly divided nation where security trumps civil liberty, unemployed David is on the verge of sinking into the ‘Zeros’ – a destitute underclass numbering millions. But then JobNet's advanced virtual reality world offers him a gateway to a worthwhile future, and a chance to rejoin society.

But David is an unwitting pawn in a deadly conspiracy to topple the Government: he's the ideal carrier for an intelligent virus designed to shatter the system and set the Zeros free.

When the virus activates, chaos ensues and the Zeros rise. David is left trapped inside a corrupted reality. If it doesn't shatter his sanity, the secret he finds there will change everything...

Sometimes even a pawn can hold the balance of power.
