Prologue
In a distant future that is being shaped now. . .
New Earth went through a few pivotal evolutions after the devastating event that destroyed it. Actually, it was more like a series of events - a combination of pollution, over-mining of the planet's resources, too many people, and a meteor shower with toxic dust. It reshaped the world and continued to do so. More than a century after the Fall, the planet was about to go through another upheaval, a political one this time.
No matter that the world spun in a different direction and the sky wasn't always a mythical blue. One thing remained the same. What went up still came down.
