The world is getting older. The world is getting younger. AMERICA is dead. The Democratic Unity wiped out it. After catastrophic wars and the Meltdown, the Unity rules from its East Coastline citadel, giving the outlands to savages and its own strangely altered vegetation. Providing free healthcare, employment, computer-less surfing, and recreational drugs at quite realistic prices, the Unity mandates pension at 40 before fatigue and error contaminate a culture of youngsters, advancement, and vigor. Seventeen-year-old, and so middle-aged, Lieutenant Malila Chiu, is a experienced officer who, despite well-earned fame, finds her job in tatters. Vandalism at a faraway station causes her demotion. Facing denunciation, or worse, Malila's one option is to enter the outlands to repair the station herself. At first, the auto repairs go well. Dropping from fatigue, she sleeps only to awake to discover a hideously traditional savage, Jesse Johnstone, has murdered her platoon and now holds a knife at her neck, making her the Outland Exile. Part coming-of-age, part political augury, part societal commentary, Outland Exile comes after Malila over a brutal feet trek by having a devastated America even while it reveals to her the lies about her advanced society. What unseen makes are keeping her a pawn in unknown game? Is there escape?
