Life in 2120 A.D. is much different than you would expect. People
live in huge domelike cities called Daroks, water is rationed severely,
and to top it all off, everyone lives on the moon. After a nuclear war,
humanity left a polluted earth, divided the moon into four quadrants and
built the Daroks. Then there is Hank Havard, a First Quadrant scientist
who is working, along with his assistant Lydia Grant, on a drug called
SH33. This drug, when administered correctly, gives one the ability to
survive without water. Hank and his Lydia had been working in a first
quadrant laboratory and had been attacked by the dreaded
fourth-quadrant. When they attacked, he had put all his research on two
memory cards. They had escaped on the Bullet, or lunar subway, and had
ended up back in Darok 9. Upon arriving at his apartment Hank discovers
that Lydia has been severely beaten. He then heads to his nephew's
house and asks him to copy the memory cards. Can Hank, with the help of
his nephew Will and Will's friend Maddie, find out who is trying to
steal SH33. And, when Will is injected with a tainted version of this
drug, can he find out fast enough.
In this book of stolen government secrets, foreign conspiracies and
double agents you will be so enraptured that you won't be able to
put the book down until it's finished. H.J. Ralles writing style is
unique in that it keeps the reader excited and attentive while leaving
room for character development. "Darok 9" is for readers who
enjoy science fiction or books about post-apocalyptic happenings. Look
out for H.J. Ralles next book, "Darok 10."
