The Buried Few

By M.J. Lau

Daniel Allingham is taking a stand against a society that cares so much for their safety, they are willing to give up their children.In the near future, America has engaged in a series of over-ambitious wars that decimated the adult population. Most children - Daniel included - have lost their parents to combat, or the trauma they bring home with them. Orphans and foster children become the new normal. As a college student, Daniel fought for the protection of children, demanding that all parents be screened and licensed so this generation of shattered youth has the best chance of being raised by a stable family.But it all went wrong. Society took the crusade for better families to an unanticipated extreme: existing children must be adopted first, meaning any new children face deportation - or destruction. So when Daniel, now a computer security specialist, finds an infant abandoned in a San Francisco park, what option does he really have? With a great deal of help from those he cares about, and a fair dose of technical wizardry, Daniel risks it all to secure a better future for at least this one child.The Buried Few is a dystopian science fiction novel with echoes of A Brave New World, The Handmaid's Tale, and The Giver. Unlike most dystopias, which involve a corrupt and authoritarian government subjugating its people, The Buried Few explores the possible dangers of a populace demanding more and more protections from the government, and realizing too late the price. While the action is cinematic, the characters are still carefully rendered, from Daniel's feisty ex, Renee Martinez, to the relentless government agent, Detroit Gozzum.If you enjoy novels that are thought-provoking yet suspenseful, look no farther - buy The Buried Few and see what fate is in store for Daniel, his friends, and a helpless child whose very existence depends upon whose hands he ultimately lands in.
