Devolution

2112 AD: For the sixty years following the Intercontinental War, Asia has been ruled by a delicately balanced coalition representing three major tribes; Newtonians, Deists and Adonites. The murders of two senators in separate incidents in Asia's capitol, Mumbay, now threatens the fragile peace that exists among them. Police Chief Inspector Adrian Jacobssen, recently widowed, world weary and cynical, with nothing left of value in his life except his job, sets out to find those responsible for the murders. His failure may result in another war. The key could be the mysterious disappearance of the 18-year-old children of the murdered senators. Unaware that Jacobssen is looking for them, 3-11-15 and Veena, together with a third friend Joshua, take a journey that will test the strength of their friendships by plunging them into a crucible of tribulation. They hold the fate of the world in their hands but don't even know it. Will Jacobssen find them in time to save them, solve the murders, and prevent war? In Devolution, romance and friendship, fear and respect, faith and folly, truth and lies all confuse in a future world that no one would dare imagine.
