Beware

A contemporary mix of Ayn Randâ s Anthem and George Orwellâ s 1984, this is the story of one characterâ s struggle to survive within a twisted version of oppression. No more than a child, this martyr is born into a futuristic society dominated by an unforgiving dictator known as the General. Trapped inside a backwards utopia and locked in a life-threatening battle between individualism and conformity, an unconventional hero will learn what it means to live, to love, and to lose.
