The Fifth of November

A Dystopian Future History Sci-Fi Thriller

By Alda L. Turing

In the sprawling, neon-lit dystopia of San Neo City, the iron grip of Ion Murk's United American Empire is unyielding. His greatest weapon, The Everlasting Pulse, controls everything-behavior, thought, and even memory. Resistance is futile, and freedom is a forgotten dream for most.

But for Violet and Leon, two young adults from very different backgrounds, surrender is not an option. Violet is a brilliant hacker haunted by the loss of her scientist parents, who vanished into the jaws of Ion Murk's death machine. And Leon, an experienced street fighter, a former child of the elite sector of San Neo City who fell all the way to the poorest streets when his parents were dragged away one night.

This is the story of rebellion, sacrifice, and a fight against impossible odds.

As Murk's empire grows, his sinister ambitions reach beyond Earth, ensnaring untold numbers in forced labor camps in the mines on Mars and transforming humanity itself into tools for his lust for eternal power and eternal life. Yet, in the darkened alleys of Sector Seven and the abandoned tunnels of San Neo City, a spark of defiance ignites. The rebels, a ragtag collective of hackers, fighters, and dreamers, refuse to bow to the tyrant's rule.

When Violet uncovers a critical vulnerability in The Pulse, she and Leon embark on a desperate mission to dismantle Murk's stranglehold on humanity. Along the way, they encounter harrowing dangers-Specters, Murk's terrifying half-human, half-machine enforcers; double agents in their midst; and the deadly dangerous Pulse AI infused with the fragmented consciousness of Donald Tyrant, a once-charismatic leader turned digital puppet.

From the ashes of lost rebel sanctuaries like The Sanctum to daring escapes across the Martian sands, the resistance grows stronger. With each battle, they lose comrades but gain the resolve of millions who dare to dream of a free world.

The Fifth of November is a gripping tale of liberation and unity, where diverse voices rise to overthrow an empire built on fear. It is a tribute to the indomitable human spirit, weaving action, emotion, and resilience into a narrative that will stay with you long after the final page.

Do you hear the people sing? In a world yearning for freedom, their song becomes the anthem of a revolution. Will you join the fight for tomorrow?
