Sequel to Hope and Wasteland



Operation Galton is named after Frederick Galton, a pioneer of eugenics in the 
late 19th and early 20th centuries; it was he who invented the term

The UK's new megacities: contented citizens relieved of the financial burden of home ownership, living in eco-friendly communities.  Total surveillance has all but wiped out crime, and biometric sensor implants detect illness before symptoms are apparent.

That's the hype.  Scratch the surface, and darker stories emerge.

Tara is offered the chance to become a princess amongst media influencers—as long as she keeps quiet and does as she's told. 

Aileen uproots to the megacity with some reluctance, but none of her misgivings prepare her for the situation she will face: a mother's worst nightmare. 

Radar has survived gang rule in group homes for the homeless, prison and bereavement, and jumps at the chance to live a 'normal' life.  But at what cost?

For all three, the price of living in a megacity may prove too high.


Megacity is the third and final book in the dystopian Operation Galton trilogy, and is Terry Tyler's twenty-third publication.

'As long as some of us refuse to live as they demand, we are not yet beaten.  That's how we do it.  That's how we win.'

Wasteland is LIVE!

(sequel to HOPE)



'Those who escape 'the system' are left to survive outside society.  The fortunate find places in off-grid communities; the others disappear into the wasteland.'

The year: 2061.  In the new UK megacities, the government watches every move you make.  Speech is no longer free—an 'offensive' word reaching the wrong ear means a social demerit and a hefty fine.  One too many demerits?  Job loss and eviction, with free transport to your nearest community for the homeless: the Hope Villages. 

Rae Farrer is a megacity girl through and through, proud of her educational and career achievements, until a shocking discovery about her birth forces her to question every aspect of life in UK Megacity 12.

On the other side of the supposedly safe megacity walls, a few wastelanders suspect that their freedom cannot last forever...
 



Wasteland is the stand-alone sequel to Hope, and is the second and final book in the Operation Galton series.

Hope is now live!


Hope

On Amazon HERE



'We haven't elected a Prime Minister, we've elected a lifestyle'.

As the fourth decade of the 21st century looms, new PM Guy Morrissey and his fitness guru wife Mona (hashtag MoMo) are hailed as the motivational couple to get the UK #FitForWork, with Mona promising to 'change the BMI of the nation'.  

Lita Stone is an influential blogger and social media addict, who watches as Guy and Mona's policies become increasingly ruthless.  Unemployment and homelessness are out of control. The solution?  Vast new compounds all over the country, to house those who can no longer afford to keep a roof over their heads.

These are the Hope Villages, financed by US corporation Nutricorp.

Lita and her flatmates feel safe in their cosy cyberspace world; unaware of how swiftly bad luck can snowball, they suspect little of the danger that awaits the unfortunate, behind the carefully constructed mirage of Hope. 


Terry Tyler's nineteenth published book is a psychological drama that weaves through the darker side of online life, as the gap between the haves and the have-nots grows ever wider.  Whether or not it will mirror a dystopian world of the future, we will have to wait and see.
