Description

Homo Fulcrum is set in a post-asteroid-impact Apocalyptic Earth nearly 300 years in the future, where the dust, soot, and winds have transformed our familiar Blue Marble Earth into the Gray World, a dreary wasteland. The relatively few survivors have only recently begun to venture out of long-sealed Dome Cities ruled by the TechDominion, a rigid, caste-system police state. A predatory ruling caste called the Grays has evolved, and lives off the remaining population who "donate" organs to extend the lives of these oligarchs. "Life is Sacred, Nothing is Wasted," became the mantra - and the justification.One man chooses to fight these murderous oligarchs, also called the Eaters of Souls for their social predation. Captured twice, he escapes from an ultra-secure asteroid prison with help from a daughter he last saw when she was just three years old. She is now an adult, but also a deadly killer who has learned that leaving the enemy alive can be by far the greater punishment... She has also never forgotten her Papa, who she is determined to find no matter who she must run over to do it. But her father is different: his golden eyes are just the most superficial distinguishing characteristic of Homo Fulcrum, the cusp of the newest hominid species on Earth that threatens the TechDominion's very existence. They focus all their immense resources on capturing and killing him. To them, he is... The Alien. But they completely overlooked his daughter.
