A truly enthralling, disturbing anti-utopian fantasy novel that will have readers gripped from page one. After a global catastrophe called…
the Great Reduction, the number of people living on Earth has become fixed, remaining a constant 3 billion. The concept of death no longer exists, and instead, people are reborn anywhere on the planet with an in-code that keeps track of information about all their previous incarnations. Humankind is no longer individual— people are only particles making up one composite organism called The Living. The particles of The Living live happily and die happily, according to a government-determined schedule. All of society is connected directly from the brain to the social network (Socio), and family and country are now of no importance. Society is global, and attachment to parents and children is denounced as a deviation. Yet, there is one man born without an in-code— a spare human being. His birth increases the number of The Living by one, which threatens global harmony. Who is Zero and how will The Living survive?Fallen Empire: A Graphic Novel (Cleopatra in Space #5)

Par Joe Zieja. 2016
A smooth-talking ex-sergeant, accustomed to an easygoing peacetime military, unexpectedly rejoins the fleet and finds soldiers preparing for the strangest…
thing—war.The two hundred years’ (and counting) peace is a time of tranquility that hasn’t been seen since...well, never. Mankind in the Galactic Age had finally conquered war, so what was left for the military to do but drink and barbecue? That’s the kind of military that Sergeant R. Wilson Rogers lived in before he left the fleet to become a smuggler. But it turns out that smuggling is hard. Like getting-arrested-for-dealing-with-pirates-and-forced-back-into-service kind of hard. It doesn’t seem so bad—the military was a perpetual tiki party anyway—but when Rogers returns after only a year away, something has changed. These are soldiers—actual soldiers doing actual soldier things like preparing for a war that Rogers is sure doesn’t exist. Rogers vows to put a stop to all this nonsense—even if it means doing actual work. With an experienced ear for military double-speak, Zieja has created a remarkable and sarcastic adventure.Chilling Adventures Presents: Strange Science (Archie Horror Presents #1)
