    About this ebook

    Travel to the year 2039 in this dystopian North America where the governments of Canada, America and Mexico have consolidated, and society is segregated into Sectors. A haunting glimpse of what could become of our increasingly militarized society, as the public's privacy is slowly reduced to absolutely zero in the wake of state-sponsored terrorism.

    In this installment, follow our nameless narrator through the drug-riddled streets of Sector C, where tragedy can strike at any moment.
