Set in the year 2089 this powerful and somewhat disturbing novel is placed in a future World State where mass populations have decreased dramatically in numbers due to severe natural world disasters and virus pandemics. More saltwater now covers where land once used to be in this city of Menap and the surviving people have had to adapt to their new political world takeover and learn to build new futuristic inhabitable domies over the years. Almost all the water on earth has risen to its highest levels in history causing a major geographic update. In a quest to adjust to their new society which has abruptly been forced upon them and to survive the harsh realities of the new Drogheda Provisional World Order now in place, the citizens of Menap have developed their own futuristic technological slang to combat this violent and sometimes deadly new world order set unexpectedly against them. As the citizens developed their own coded new futuristic vocabulary penned from the city’s own survivalists, the initial development has inadvertently compromised the Old World’s English language. The now overloaded, hacked security systems in the city of Menap have imploded and crashed down as a result causing mayhem. One of Menap’s citizens is Grenique Johnhorse a very powerful leader within a group of sorority sisters who have stuck together over the years and formed: The Neteru Council. The Neteru Council was simply formed to combat the system. An outright outlaw herself, Grenique is a woman who knows her worth and embodies revenge. Dare to try anything unusual with this short tempered black cheena from the higher districts and you might just regret that attempt.
