Red Rain

Please don't send me back to Earth. The year is 2075. Earth is ruled by a one-world government.

Searching for answers, she stumbles into a hidden lab and uncovers terrifying experiments for an apocalyptic weapon. The scientist in charge has cruel plans for Earth, and he will kill to keep his secret hidden. Racing to stay one step ahead, Philadelphia must decide whether to save the people who have oppressed her for her entire life-or save her family and let Earth burn.
