LIMINAL — Brad Williams

In the dystopian city of Synthoria, citizens live under the ironclad rule of the Authority, who claim the world outside is a toxic wasteland and enforce obedience through daily doses of a health pill called LifeMaxx. John Tannan, a loyal factory worker, believes the Authority's narrative until a chance meeting with Darleen, a young woman living off-grid, reveals shocking truths: the world beyond the city walls is not only habitable but beautiful, and LifeMaxx is designed to suppress independent thought and shorten lives. Darleen introduces John to the resistance, a covert group determined to expose the Authority's lies.
