The Synaptic Zone Paul Weightman

The year: 2075. The place: East London. Despite most of the world leaders and their governments implementing eco-friendly measures to save the planet, it was too little, too late! Global warming had taken its toll on the world. Most countries were decimated, and those countries that survived nature's destructive onslaught, their populations became extensively overcrowded. Law and truly little or no order at all was controlled by dictators who called themselves: 'Generals' every country was divided up into districts and the self-appointed militia of those countries ruled with an iron fist. Cruelty and murder were equally matched by prostitution and crime. The only entertainment for the world's populous was known as: 'The Synaptic Zone' which was controlled by a group of greedy people known as the collective. Each district had to submit their own 'Zone Warriors' each combatant would be placed into a chemically induced coma and using advanced technology, these warriors would enter: 'The Synaptic Zone' doing battle and the winners would be well rewarded. Women were no longer regarded as human beings, those who were devoid of any infectious disease and were clinically clean, were purchased by those who could afford them. They were there to provide pleasure to the highest bidders and subjugated by the 'Generals'. The only real currency was the human soul, and to get that, the combatants had to face their worst enemy: 'The Dominator'. 'The Synaptic Zone' is where ultramodern technology and myth &magic are combined. The higher Synaptic Power you have, the better your odds are of surviving... This is one young woman's story.
