It is 2062 ⸺ World governments have collapsed and Earth’s food supply is exhausted after a 2035 nuclear exchange between the United States and China. Five billion starving humans roam the planet, many of them reduced to cannibalism. Order is maintained by a Consortium of scientific elites who have emerged from the decay, their weapons a powerful robot army and artificial foodstuff "Manna" rationed to the masses from the sea.

But the threat of revolution is growing, driven by renegade scientists determined to bring down the Consortium at all costs. After recent attacks against its undersea Manna production complex, the Consortium has ordered its top spy, Lucina Montavi (Consortium ID - Green 0021) to infiltrate the Renegades. Lucinda will be assisted by "Gog", the most powerful robot ever built.

Lucinda and her superiors are unaware her assignment will reveal the dark secret behind the Consortium, Renegades, and Manna − but Gog will soon unleash the darkest secret of all.

Gary Naiman has written seventeen novels. One of his books, P.P.M., is being considered for a motion picture.

Amazon Reviews:
"An exhilarating and imaginative sci-fi novel that combines action, technology, and deep philosophical themes. The story is fast-paced, filled with intriguing characters and futuristic concepts that keep you engaged from start to finish. The world-building is impressive, and the plot twists make it a truly exciting read. A must-read for fans of thought-provoking and action-packed sci-fi!" (Huber 1/25)

"The two lead characters are the best part, one human, the other a robot. At times, the robot seems the more human. The corporate supremacy line has been used before, but not with the powerful robot subplot. The conclusion is quite emotional. Great read for a flight home. " (D)

"Well written, dynamic and visual." (SE)

"I enjoyed it as fiction as well as a metaphor of our world." (DE)

"A sci fi thriller. Quite a surprise ending. I recommend it." (SVDS)

"I found it to be reminiscent of other science fiction authors as it has flavors of "I Robot" (Isaac Asimov) in its technology vision of a world of powerful robots, with a deep dose of George Orwell's "1984" and Huxley's "Brave New World" view of world politics, both bad and hopeful. It is a quick read that will definitely leave an impression." (AC)

"Fast-paced with a strong, suspenseful plot and compelling characters. The author lays out a future with technological detail and realism that sci-fi aficionados will enjoy along with the human story of a woman’s awakening to the truth. A great read. (AC)
