Outland Exile by W. Clark Boutwell (Old Men and Infidels #1)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 446 kb
Overview: In 2051, America is destroyed, separating into the Unity and the outands.
Generations later, the Democratic Unity has become a Utopia with full employment, free healthcare, computerless-surfing and recreational drugs at quite reasonable prices. All citizens retire at forty before error and fatigue contaminate a society of youth, innovation, and vigor.
The outlands, beyond the Rampart and savaged by the Scorching, are populated by savage creatures with strange blood-thirsty reputations.
Seventeen-year-old, middle-aged Lt. Malila Chiu, a hero of the Unity, finds her career in tatters. Inexplicably she has been demoted and sent to repair a sensor installation at the very limits of Unity influence. Fortunately, the outlands look abandoned, and she sets her hands to restore the station and her reputation. Work is proceeding well when Malila, collapsing from fatigue, finally goes to bed.
She awakens to find her entire platoon murdered and a knife at her throat, wielded by a disfigured, malicious and impossibly old savage. Jesse Johnstone, a lover of poetry, has made Malila–the Outland Exile.
Stripped, bound and forced to walk hundreds of miles, Malila and Jesse survive the hostile wilderness, carnivorous plants, disease, slavers, blizzards, snipers, and each other’s disdain to arrive at a new understanding.
