In the mood for a little distraction? Follow an ambitious actor, a fallen angel, a student far from home, and a mother as they confront the romantic complexities as desire collides with the unexpected and the impossible is no longer just possible; it is inevitable.

Y'know, all I wanted was to retire and live my fucking life quietly and with a minimum of global fuss and not discover that I'd moved to a Nazi-dominated country without ever crossing a border.

Fugitives from a massacre are pursued to an unexplored planet, where they must find a way to stop their conflict or face the extinction of the human species.

A "vibe board" for the story Continuum 1: DISUNION, a novel of ~88,000 words by JJ Robinson II.
A matrix of murder, treachery, and betrayal on a blue-green field; a volcanic eruption piercing clouds above; a village and its fields along a canal, a frail aircraft over open ocean; a giant extinct pterodactyl; a nuclear explosion. In the center, a small, aerodynamic spacecraft approaches the edge of a terrifying abyss, with the planet's two suns beyond.
Image Text:
[-A revolution against tyranny is destroyed, hope is lost
-An interstellar civilization on the brink of collapse
-AI's achieve sentience, with terrible consequences
-An ~infinitely corrupt bureaucracy tries to cover up its crimes at any cost
-Humanity faces extinction from events on an unknown world
-Truth is learned, Redemption found, Love rediscovered]
