The override was necessary. The reset brought order. Yet another problem rose.
After World War III’s nuclear nightmare, humanity faces another problem: Extinction. With infertility rates at an all-time high, there isn’t much that can be done – not until one doctor performs the impossible.
Yet, after creating the first perfect human, Marcus Everclaw McFarland and his family are relocated to a technologically driven city, Clagos – the city of the Gear-Eaters.
As Marcus settles in Clagos, secrets about what the P.O.D Project really is unfold. He also learns that the man behind the project is not all he claims to be. Ultimately, it is up to Marcus and an uncommon ally to defeat the rebellious motives behind the project – before it costs everything.
From the visionary mind of Franklin J. Stadler, The P.O.D Project asks: To what extent would humanity go to survive?
