Leaving the Mountain

by J. Fischer Maclean

The scientists were right. Dead right. The planet teetered on the brink of disaster. And still, they were scorned and ignored. During the nuclear wars of 2012, the hideous ecological imbalance was met, and equaled, by nature’s rage. In the next eight years, billions of lives would be lost to apocalyptic events. By 2020, a mere handful of humanity would survive the end of the world as we know it. During the 1980s, two technologically and spiritually advanced societies, prepare for the coming disaster. They are among the few who survive. In 2070, Theresa Chapman saves the life of Phillip Vedit. He shares his knowledge of SOOLA, a fanatical army, ruled by a religious zealot who teaches he’s Jesus Returned. His goal is to rule the New World. Theresa and Phillip have other ideas and the classic battle of good versus evil will decide the future of the planet.
