FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UNITED KINGDOM – Inspired by the author’s extensive travels in Africa, 2032 grabs the readers attention from the outset, with its futuristic and sinister predictions for a world blighted by the full force of the pandemic.
Skilfully combining the key elements of dystopian storytelling in a thriller context we’ve all experienced, 2032 is well-paced novel that benefits from an unassuming hero (Detective Dakarai), who whilst very much out of his comfort zone, feels sufficiently empowered to become the man to save his beloved continent.
Entertaining and thought provoking in equal measure, 2032 is an impressive launch pad for this debut author’s works, and will find an instant and appreciative audience in fans of dystopian literature as well as those concerned with the wellbeing of our planet.
Synopsis:
A rare few have dared look beyond the edge of sanity. Those who have wish they were never so bold for a universe of madness and terror stared back. 2032.
The nations of Africa battle the decline of vegetation. The desert creeps closer, threatening the major cities. People flee across the seas in a mass exodus not seen since biblical times. Hunger and greed consume those who remain. Yet hope is not lost. Some who remain vow to do all they can to halt the wicked machinations of corrupt governments and too-big corporations.
Thandiwe and her Bangaphandle use their hacking skills to turn those same corporations getting rich off the helpless to share their profits with her beloved Africa. Imbued by her initial success, Thandiwe becomes distracted by the enigmatic Ali. He holds a strange power within and confides in her a terrible secret that threatens all of humanity.
Detective Dakarai spends his days combating the city’s meth problem. When he stumbles upon Thandiwe and Ali he quickly realizes a more sinister plot is at work, one with demonic implications. Dakarai knows what he must do, even if he is terrified to do it.
A boy whose blood will save mankind from the clutches of annihilation
A girl whose mind could hold any computer on earth to ransom
A man with many faces and an immoral thirst for power and control
Their destinies hold the fate of the world, but time is running out. To save the world, they must accept the impossible and rise above all that has come before
