Jemma7729

The civil unrest is finally under control, but most North American citizens are confined to domed megacities, the only safe and healthy places. Or so Jemma7729 has been told and believes. But when her father takes her into the Countryside, and she sees the stars in a free night sky for the first time, she begins to doubt everything she’s learned. And to challenge it.

On her Choosing Day, when she must declare publicly what she will do and be for the rest of her life, she knows it is a lie and a trap and refuses. The State is quick to respond: arrest, remand without possibility of parole, and incarceration in a rehab facility that will change her mind, or kill her.

Her spirit can’t be crushed. Jemma escapes to the Countryside and begins a life of adventure and danger, criss-crossing the continent, battling the Administration Government of North America. Her specialty is blowing up the labs that manufacture mind-numbing drugs used to control rebellious people, especially women. A self-taught but skillful saboteur, she eludes and embarrasses the Fedguard and becomes their Enemy #1. To many others, Jemma is a heroine fighting for freedom.

She loves her lovely, starry night, but she’s lonely. That all changes when she joins the Movers, a revolutionary group working to establish a shadow government — by the ballot or the bullet. There she finds a little peace, friendship, a mentor, even love, and a better way to fight the tyranny.

But her luck can’t last forever. The State wants her for rebellion, female aggression, failure to make choices, and inappropriate behavior. If Jemma7729 is caught, she faces immediate, permanent and uncontestable deletion.
