Premise

In Earth Year 2514, James Moore is doing his best to live his life exactly as his colony expects. Anything less could be death for him, his wife, and even his son. But James knows things others in the colony don’t, things the colony founders wanted forgotten. Now James has a choice: stay and live with his secret knowledge or flee for a chance at a better life.

If he’s wrong about life outside, the colony militia won’t have to kill him… the aliens will.
