Dark Earth

A young boy is sent to a slave colony on a post-nuclear Earth, where he discovers a danger to Earth far worse than another nuclear war....but no one will believe him.

Sage Cowan is a slave. Even though he isn't legally old enough, he has been sent to one of the vilest slave towns on Earth - the Madinat Aljarim, or the City of Offense. He isn't expected to survive life here for too long, but no matter what, he has been condemned to spend the rest of his life there. His only crime was helping the rebels during the war and catching a glimpse of his mother murdering his father. Stuck in the town, he is reunited in a horrible way with his mother, who he discovers never loved him, and is now planning a horrible fate for everyone in the town. On top of that, Sage has finally found what the owners of the town have been mining for, and its secrets pose a terrible threat to Earth...
