Description
In twenty-four fifty-three Kalen MacKenna, great grandson of Shawn MacKenna is convicted of the brutal murders his wife and father. After his conviction, in a surprise move, the judge orders Kalen placed in cold-stasis instead of imposing the death penalty. Kalen awakens twenty-five colonial periods later to a world changed beyond anything he could have imagined. A world with a largely female population, where the birth of a male child though not rare is a welcomed event. While he recovers from the effects of Cold-stasis an attempt is made on his life. Then a second attempt shortly after his release. With someone wanting him dead, he finds himself alone in the midst of a struggle that he must win or face his own death and the destruction of the Arrisian male population. Along the way he will discover a piece of family history never reveled to him. A family willing to risk all to help him, and old wounds of these forgotten friends he must heal. He will also find people who still believe him guilty of murder and want revenge. Siblings, even his best friend didn't know existed, and a prophecy made months before his birth, foretelling the events of his life. But on a world as technologically advanced as his, where man controls the very environment of his world, who would pay attention to a prophecy? Especially one made by a woman who didn't believe it herself. The Governing Quorum and Mining Consortiums take it seriously. Kalen and the Arrisians had better.
