Angels Of Tomorrow
by Maurice Hardy
It is the year 2093 and human civilisation has reached crisis point. Brutal wars rage across the Middle East, central Europe and through wide sections of Africa. Countries around the globe are experiencing a serious breakdown of law and order, and maintaining functioning societies has never been more challenging while cities and towns have become the domain of murderous street gangs and criminals. The more affluent members of society are forced to live within heavily fortified communities or ‘hubs’, while the less fortunate face a precarious, frightening existence beyond the hub gates. Here, at the mercy of violent, ruthless thugs, life is a continuous and terrifying struggle for survival. Police and defence forces are deployed to protect the production, transport, storage and distribution of food, medicine and basic goods. While many countries have successfully closed their borders, others are porous; allowing trade of drugs and weapons to go on unimpeded. This environment has spawned an unprecedented level of corruption and greed, further eroding the potential of reinstating orderly society. With growing discontent and mistrust of authorities, numerous action groups and movements have formed around the world, desperate to halt societies’ slide towards oblivion. ‘Angels of Tomorrow’; a secretive, global, all female group attracted scepticism and ridicule with their simple solution; rid the world of men. However a display of their powers sent shudders around the world; necessitating an urgent change of strategy. Amidst this background, a dedicated integration supervisor and a Special Forces agent become engrossed it a passionate love affair. Through circumstance and fate, they become key players in a deadly game; a game where the stakes could not be higher; an ultimate game to decide the future, or if there will be a future.
