Thor's Hammer

In the year 2248, the world is the city, and the city is gray and black, an immense favela. Narrow, crooked streets are lined with improvised, rectangular dwellings. These cubes are stacked one on another as high as anyone can see from the street, connected by shaky zigzag stairs and vertical ladders. Most of the cubes are made of scavenged materials--tin, plastic, cardboard. Sooty streaks of black and gray cover walls. An ever-present smoky haze fills the air. Food is scarce. Electricity is scarce. Safe, private spaces are scarce. The air smells of sulfur and burning rubber. But two young people, Daniel and his friend Haley, find hope for each other and for humanity. Using elements of Norse myth, science fiction, Western adventures, and dystopian fantasy, Thor's Hammer follows Daniel's journey of discovery, First, Daniel wants to save himself and his friends from the threats posed by Rhea and Cronus, but as he learns more about his own story and his amazing powers, his mission takes on a much grander scope. Suspenseful to the end, Thor's Hammer takes the reader on an unforgettable epic journey to a world unlike any other.
