Exiles' Escape
Book Two of Old Men and Infidels
Faking her own death, middle-aged, 18-year-old Malila Chiu hopes her boss, General Jourdaine, will be duped. Escaping the illusion of her utopian homeland, she longs to return to a Scorched America—to see the stars—and perhaps come to terms with that middle-aged old man, Jesse Johnstone. Unconvinced, Jourdaine closes in at every turn. Spies, poet-socialists, cyber-entities, and people—both good and bad—wrestle the Fates for survival in a devastated twenty-second-century America.
