The Green Vanguard has stepped into the vacuum of power left by the disintegration of the old order. Forcefully reshaping society to conform to their stringent ideology, this movement has carved an island of brutal stability in a sea of deepening chaos. Jack Murphy, a young man growing up on the banks of the Sunken City, knows nothing other than life under the thumb of this regime in which the use of technology is reserved for the ruling elites. Jack leads a quiet life, helping his uncle support their extended family through fishing. Haunted by childhood trauma, Jack is plagued by a nearly debilitating fear of the authorities. All this changes when a mysterious stranger rents a boat for use in a clandestine resistance operation. Along with his uncle and best friend, Jack is thrust into a wider world of intrigue far beyond the confines of his sleepy fishing village. A vital message has been entrusted to his care, and it is up to Jack and his friends to deliver it successfully. Across the continent, a new movement to restore freedom and democracy threatens The continued tyranny of the Green Vanguard hangs in the balance. Only one chance to restore liberty and democracy remains, and Jack must discover the courage necessary to warn the allies of the resistance of impending disaster before it is too late.
