[GLOBAL DIVIDE: RYU RISING] Hello everyone. My name is Peter and I have been reading light novels for as far as I can remember (1986). I took the time to create my own and have finally published it for everyone to read and comment on. It is in eBook format and is available on Amazon. Here's a brief synopsis of the story: >*A dark, scorched surface. A black mist that destroys on contact. A serum that keeps you young. The reality as explained in the Global Divide. A Sci-Fi series that will have you in suspense while you immerse yourself into a world unrecognized by our current standards. A world deep in the future where the Apocalypse has taken place and society has destroyed itself leaving a small group of survivors in its wake. In this new aftermath, survivors must adhere to their new subjectors. The elites that are now in control demand loyalty without compensation. Their goal is to rebuild the Earth to its former glory while eliminating any of the human attributes that caused its demise in all previous wars. Anyone in opposition is subject to death and immediately killed. A group of highly skilled mercenaries disagree with the new oppressors and fight for the right to rebuild the Earth with the use of advanced technology. One that doesn't involve the destruction of the human race. In this new battle, a teenager whom is forcefully recruited by the military wing of the Global World Order, finds himself at odds with his new way of life and decides to follow his conscious. An option that will indirectly tie him to the fate of the planet.* I published this eBook initially for $2.99 I invite everyone who loves reading and is interested in a great story full of Action, Suspense, Romance, and the sheer will to see someone survive all odds, odds that have never been tested.
