Synopsis

It is the mid-22nd century, a time in which humankind has reached a point of no return with respect to the destruction of its habitat on Earth. The only ray of hope is the Human Resiliency Program—a conglomeration of government sponsored efforts to preserve human life until such time as the Earth is able to recover. Unfortunately, the program's projects are only capable of saving small, select members of the population, and the competition to assess into and remain in those programs is fierce.Sam Richmond is one of the lucky few who has made it into one of these programs. However, his elation is short-lived as people close to him disappear, his headquarters is attacked, and he learns of a plot to selectively destroy nearly all remaining human life on the planet. Sam must unravel complex misinformation and find clues that will lead him to the source of the disappearances and the one person capable of salvaging civilization.

With his life surround......more

This is my book - I wrote it. Whenever I read my own writing, I am simultaneously impressed with some parts and embarrassed by others. "Midgard" is no exception. So, if I were to give myself a review, it would look like this: Sustain: 1) World-building - it sounds and feels authentic to me (and I happ......more

Goodreads review by Bob

Very Enjoyable….but… Thoroughly enjoyable story and characters… Hated to see it and…and actually it shouldn’t have… A little short and I bet Volume 2 could be combined into a proper novel. Also whoever edited it did a very poor job. Not sure I’ve ever experienced so many typos in a book I’ve paid for......more
