LIVONIA, Mich. - Feb. 18, 2021 - In a robot- and hologram-run world set in 2098, the fading game of baseball represents the world's last hope for peace in Gary Moregenstein's critically acclaimed Dark Depth series.
In a world where laws restrict nearly every move people make, baseball pitcher Puppy Nedick and his ex-wife are on the run. Branded by their government as American traitors and murderers, they and their friends must now navigate the chaotic remnants of London. As Puppy faces an uncertain future run by secret police, robots, and holograms, he is determined to save the world using the only weapon he has—baseball.
"The power of speculative fiction is that it allows you to be timely while taking the reader through a window into a nightmarish future," says Gary Morgenstein. "But as humanity has always done under the most terrible of circumstances, ordinary people will find the extraordinary courage to build a better world."
