Description
In a future where freedom is a distant memory, Kangaroo Island stands as a last bastion of hope. And as an oppressive regime tightens its grip on Australia, one young bio-robotics engineer discovers that the fight for freedom begins with the courage to resist.
Ame Goto-Loch, a determined young Japanese-Australian bio-robotics engineer, finds herself trapped on the once-idyllic island after a global financial collapse. With her family presumed dead, she must navigate a world now ruled by the People's Global Republic (PGR), where AI bio-robotic Watchers and the regime monitor every move.
As she trains in the art of kendo with a katana gifted by her late mother, Ame teams up with a ragtag group of scientists led by the retired spy Harry M. Working in a shed off the grid, the scientists must race against time to create an antidote to a mind-control technology weaponised by the PGR.
As the PGR closes in, the group unleashes their secret weapon: the QAINTS—quantum bio-robotic entities designed to fight back. With the threat of the regime looming, Ame and Captain Dave Hill, an SAS officer, fall in love, forming a bond that transcends the chaos around them. But in this battle for freedom, will their ingenuity, leadership, and connection be enough to ignite a revolution?
