Synopsis

“His writing is haunting, honest, and refreshing. There are echoes of Stephen King in his character development, and an understanding of the human condition that is sometimes uncanny.”
USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR— Michael Ploof

Twenty years ago, Jacob lost everything. Just as he was starting to figure out life as a college freshman, his world was suddenly shattered when a devastating illness destroyed the world he once knew and claimed the lives of everyone that mattered to him.

Jacob and the other survivors of the pandemic were transported to the Palace Program. Housed in a quarantined modern facility, the Palace is a perfect community designed to protect them from the sickness that wiped out ninety-five percent of the world population.

The Order, which has risen as the new ruling power, and believes the desires of the old world were responsible for its collapse. They appoint Sirus, the program director, to rehabilitate the survivors and continue with the reproduction of mankind.

As the years go by and Jacob's relationships in the Palace become more complex, he slowly begins to see that the man-made utopian society is nothing close to a perfect tomorrow, but is instead an unfathomable deception.


New Kings of Tomorrow is a high intensity, self-introspective journey through a dystopian world on the brink of a revival or implosion. This book is Handmaid's Tale, Under the Dome, The Dark Tower, and The Maze Runner intertwined into a page-turning thriller that is sometimes scary and enlightening. J.M. Clark created a post-apocalyptic world full of suspense and gripping plot-twists.


Review
“I can only say that the story is a roller coaster ride of suspense and action. Clark takes us on several twists and turns that jaded reader I may be, I never saw coming. He is insidious with the way he dribbles little clues at us that the paradise of the Palace is not all that it seems and could be so much more. The pacing is enthralling, and it is difficult to put down once started. All of this is great, but to be honest, the best part about this book is that it defies labels. It's dystopian. It's mystery suspense. It's sci-fi, and psychological thriller. It is so many things, but most of all it's unique in that it tells a great story and does it uncompromisingly. “——-Amazon Reader

“J.M. Clark is the New King of Today's Near Future SciFi genre!” —-Science Fiction Critique

“Just finished reading, New Kings of Tomorrow by J.M. Clark and I don’t want to put too many spoilers in it, but the ending is so off the wall and not what you were expecting the whole time that it would make M. Night Shyamalan jealous and wishing he’d thought of it. It is a near future sci-fi book, that really hits close to home with all the things happening in it. This book is like an emotional roller coaster of twists and turns. It starts out with an event ripped right off what could be one of our front page news stories, a flu pandemic that wipes out like 95% of the Earth’s population.”——Mike Danielson, Goodreads
