Short description

In a ruined future, two teenagers, one a girl from a religious cult determined to stop the rebuilding of a technological society whose destruction they believe was punishment from God, one a boy from a group just as determined to rebuild the old high-tech world, must overcome their differences to work together to stop the first war of the new age--a war that might destroy both their peoples.

Extended description

It's midway through the 21st century, and after economic collapse and a "small" war, civilization is in pretty bad shape. On the Canadian prairies, a religious cult, the Chosen, has dedicated itself to destroying all vestiges of the old technological civilization--but only a few hundred kilometres away, the Technos are just as dedicated to rebuilding it. The two cultures are on a collision course that could mean the first war of the new era, and mutual destruction, unless the teenage daughter of the cult's leader and a boy from the Technos can overcome their own personal differences and prevent it...no matter what the cost.

Review by: Rick Davies on April 12, 2012 : star star star star
Great short story that gets you thinking about the future after devistation and how different beliefs can come out of it.

Well worth the read for both teens annd adults.
