Frisco 2297

Frisco 2297

‘What we think of as outrageous is nothing but normal in this book…’
<br /><br />The year is 2297, and life in the Autonomous City of San Francisco is harsh and forbidding...for most people. For the elite so-called hereditary class, it's much easier, and they rule with such ancient Roman zeal.<br /><br />Those unfortunate souls outside this group are locked in a desperate struggle for survival, subsisting on whatever limited resources they can lay their hands on. Monitored by the frighteningly all-knowing and capricious "handle device," each citizen’s life is controlled by their ranking; a single number that determines what they're worth, and what Personal Consumption Resources they're allowed to have. <br /><br />Jake Forest is an obedience officer, and a non-hereditary member of society, with the impossible desire to join the upper class. However, Jake is thrust into more than he bargained for when the power-hungry Commander Titus Bullus makes his move to take complete control of the city using something known as the Peacemaker.<br /><br />This weapon is the starting signal for carnage on a truly Roman scale, and Jake realizes it's up to him to do something about it. The fight to save San Francisco is just beginning.<br /><br />Written with flair and wit, and crammed with non-stop action, Frisco 2297 is unique and ground-breaking in its presentation. And brimming with brutality, satire and comedy, this is a book which is unlike any other futuristic book seen before.
