The Colony - Book Launch by Rishi Sriram
By: Robert Diamond
Eighteen-year-old Nathan Crane is on an interplanetary mission, heading to colonize Mars with one hundred thousand others aboard the SS Noah in hope of saving humanity. It's the year 2074, and overpopulation and depletion of basic resources like water and air is rampant, largely due to The Chancellor's tyrannical world domination and mismanagement.Nathan must leave his ailing father and mother behind in Minneapolis, but believes in the expedition and is willing to work hard to build a world for future humans. But when the reality of the colony crashes through, Nathan is forced to concentrate on saving lives in the present-including his own and those of his new friends. Faced with corruption, totalitarianism and the prospects of genocide, Nathan and his friends grapple with their own questions about self-preservation and the good of society as a whole.About the author
