The Colony

Eighteen-year-old Nathan Crane is on an interplanetary mission, heading to colonize Mars with one hundred thousand others aboard the SS Noah in hope of saving humanity. It's the year 2074, and overpopulation and depletion of basic resources like water and air is rampant, largely due to The Chancellor's tyrannical world domination and mismanagement. Nathan must leave his ailing father and mother behind in Minneapolis, but believes in the expedition and is willing to work hard to build a world for future humans. But when the reality of the colony crashes through, Nathan is forced to concentrate on saving lives in the present-including his own and those of his new friends. Rishi Sriram's 'The Colony' takes readers on an adventure that drives home the importance of honor, ethics and responsibility.
