What becomes of Malila Chiu after becoming the Outland Exile? What would she learn about her homeland? Meanwhile, how far would General Eustace Jourdaine and the entire Unity take their war? Followers of the “Old Men and Infidels” political fiction series will find the answers, plus more, in “Exiles' Escape” (Indigo River Publishing; 2018).
In “Exiles' Escape”, middle-aged, eighteen-year-old Malila struggles with a moral dilemma. Wanting to escape the illusion of her society and her homeland's moral morass, she attempts to return to the outlands with a childhood friend. At each turn of her tortured escape, Malila discovers more lies told her by her homeland and the truths shown her by the arrogant and contradictory Jesse Johnstone.
The conflict heats up as spies, CORE entities, subterranean poet-socialists, virtual entities, and 'fraks' battle for survival and supremacy in a 22nd-century America. General Jourdaine pursues Malila, coming closer at every turn, even as he finalizes his plans for the conquest of the outlands.
What would become of middle-aged Malila and (oddly enough, middle-aged) Jesse? Will the Unity be successful in conquering the outlands? Find the answers in “Exiles' Escape”: Book 2 of “Old Men and Infidels” by W. Clark Boutwell. Order a copy today on Amazon and the author's website https://www.oldmenandinfidels.com/
