What would you bring to the end of civilization as you’ve known it? How much of your humanity would you sacrifice in the name of survival? In 2028, a manmade nano-virus, crafted to meld plastic and steel, is used to create a material that is light, yet incredibly strong. While this new material revolutionizes thousands of products in everyday use, it also results in a new and deadly illness. Thirty-six year old Michael Macalister, the doctor heading up the government project to find a cure for the disease, comes to realize the impossibility of the task. His projections show that eighty percent of the world’s population will die from it. As one civilization collapses, he and a band of colleagues seek to start a new one based in a colony in western Massachusetts, learning to survive and defend themselves, including against two rogue members who split off, only to return with a well-armed mob, seeking to seize control. Hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned, Macalister must find a way to ensure the survival of the colony. What’s being said about SEER - 'This exciting, dystopian view of the near future combines the suspense of Outbreak with the intrigue of Blade Runner. Mr. Austin has come up with a completely unique vision and lays out the story in an amazing fashion. A must read!' Ken Berris, author, Wild Cards 'As a youngster I read George Orwell’s 1984 with fascination, but disbelief. Many years later I live in a vastly different world and Seer has recaptured my imagination with its realistic view of the not-so-distant future. This could be a survival guide. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.' Jerry Cordasco, Security Consultant 'When we read speculative fiction about the survival of humankind we see where the hard choices necessary for survival can make us question our humanity. Seer will have you asking those questions.' John Foley, author, Guitar Music For the Mid-Life Crisis Larry Austin lives and works on Cape Cod, MA, is passiona
