Synopsis

Twenty years ago, Jacob lost everything. Just as he was starting to figure out life as a college freshman, his world was suddenly shattered when a devastating illness destroyed the world he once knew and claimed the lives of everyone that mattered to him.

Jacob and the other survivors of the pandemic were transported to the Palace Program. Housed in a quarantined modern facility, the Palace is a perfect community designed to protect them from the sickness that wiped out ninety-five percent of the world population.

The Order, which has risen as the new ruling power, and believes the desires of the old world were responsible for its collapse. They appoint Sirus, the program director, to rehabilitate the survivors and continue with the reproduction of mankind.

As the years go by and Jacob's relationships in the Palace become more complex, he slowly begins to see that the man-made utopian society is nothing close to a perfect tomorrow, but is instead an unfathomable deception.

Goodreads review by Sasha on February 09, 2019

A virulent form of the flu sweeps across the world killing off most of the human population in a matter of days. A few lucky survivors are snatched up by the remains of the government and spirited away to safe locations known as Palaces. Thus begins the lengthy process of attempting to repopulate th......more

Goodreads review by Mike on February 10, 2018

Just finished reading, New Kings Of Tomorrow by J.M. Clark and I don’t want to put too many spoilers in it, but the ending is so off the wall and not what you were expecting the whole time that it would make M. Night Shyamalan jealous and wishing he’d thought of it. It is a near future sci-fi book,......more

Goodreads review by T.S. on September 11, 2022

Like The Stand, JM Clark has 95% of humanity wiped out in a day. What happens next is survivors round......more
