Synopsis
Year 2027: Almost eleven years after a multiple attack (nuclear, electromagnetic and biological) altered the genetics of the entire population of Los Angeles, California, gave rise to a widespread blackout and a racial war among its inhabitants that led to the total isolation of the entire area, the new administration of the nation has published The Proclamation, an edict by which an annual raffle allows one candidate from the affected territory to obtain the right to be repatriated to the non-isolated territory of The New United States (NUS).
Ramsey Arami was separated from his wife and daughter by the circumstances of the day of the attacks on July 4, 2016. He finally manages for the first time to reach the last stage of the annual raffle, and with it, the possibility of meeting them looks closer than ever. What he does not know, is that the new company-nation, obsessed with security and religious mandates, has programmed for him a new challenge between police robots with human appearance, television cameras and a world that is most probably not what it seems.
The Raffle Novel is a collection of the four parts of "The Raffle". Starting from a rather short story for parts 1 and 2, the parts progressively increase, culminating in Part 4 which constitutes the majority of the collection.
Synopsis
The Raffle: The Complete Novel Parts 1-4 is the page-turning complete collection of The Raffle Series, originally released with Part 1 in January 2016 eerily predicting many impactful events in our country today.
The year is 2027. After a biological, nuclear and electromagnetic attack on July 4, 2016 gave rise to a widespread blackout and racial war among Los Angeles inhabitants, Southern California is then isolated and quarantined away from the newly-organized The New United States (NUS), a security-obsessed, ultra-religious and isolationist country secretly policed by humanoid robots. But an annual raffle allows one candidate from the quarantined territory to enter the NUS, but only if the candidate is deemed worthy and virus-free.
The attacks on Southern California separated our hero from his wife and daughter. The story commences with him finally managing to reach the last stage of the annual raffle after a decade of trying, and with it, the possibility of reuniting with his family in the NUS. What he does not know is that the NUS has programmed a new challenge for him before he can reunite with his family that will require him to travel across the NUS on an e-bike (electronic bicycle) by a certain number of days across territories that are segregated and unfriendly.
If you like cyberpunk, dystopian novels you will love this twisting tale that feels more like a semi-true story rollercoaster than a work of fiction. Join the many readers who have love The Raffle
