Author Description

Strange dreams start to plague Malak, the lead scientist of a utopic settlement, that's thrived for almost a millennium. As many prepare to celebrate that thousand-year milestone, the distance from their present to their past threatens to strain the very fabric of their colony, now turned a mature civilization. When a society has been made perfect, can it be made more perfect? When life has progressed well beyond mere subsistence, will folks continue to believe that it is just about mere survival? For people long conditioned to work for the sake of the colony, what happens when everything that can be done has been done, and now is coming undone? Can this colony hold itself together until the day of the Millennial Celebration? Or will it destabilize into irreparable chaos? And who could ever pick up all the pieces to restore things to the way they once were?
