Publisher's Synopsis
New Adult Novel: "To understand the world as it is now, you have to know what it was like then..." It's been thirty years since the Redactions, when the books and knowledge were burned up, and those responsible seized control. Since, the Redactors have maintained an ever-tightening grip on the survivors unlucky enough to live in the ghettos surrounding their stronghold in the Core of Saturn City and who exist mostly unaware that their lives serve a far more sinister purpose-all save Palermo Bistany, a young man burdened with secrets. Palermo wears the disguise of oppressed women, who've been made invisible by the puppets in the People's Free Republic. On the morning of the Mother's Day Massacre when hearts were broken and blood spilled, he escaped the cranial data port implant forced on everyone else that connects them to the Grey F.O.G. Most dangerous and deadly, Palermo knows the truth: not all of the books were lost during the Redactions. They were sent to Bibliopolis, the Lost City of Books, for protection and retrieval in a time after the Dark Age of the Redactors ends. The Redactors will do anything to find Bibliopolis and destroy it. But if Palermo can locate the Lost City of Books first-and survive-he might just change the world and lead it out of darkness.
