Colony (New Dark Ages 1)

Colony is the beginning of the fantastic epic "New Dark Ages" by Ukrainian writer Max Kidruk. This extraordinary story will immerse you in the world of the 22nd century, where humanity, it seems, may not be saved by all the achievements of civilization.

The year is 2141.

Humanity on Earth has not yet recovered from the clodis disease, which led to the largest pandemic in half a century, when a new pathogen appears that exclusively infects pregnant women. A group of immunologists is trying to find out what it is and whether its appearance is related to the neutrino flares recorded around the planet.

The population of the Martian Colonies exceeds one hundred thousand inhabitants, and a third of them are born on Mars. They lose the struggle for jobs in Mars's knowledge-intensive economy to superspecialists from Earth and are forced to toil like slaves in low-skilled manual labor. The more of them come of age, the more they desire change, not realizing that these changes threaten the very existence of the Colonies.
