Sheriff Jones Fontana loves his city more than anything…

But with a looming empire on the border, promising complete subjugation, Estegrad’s freedom may not last long.
Jones faces an impossible choice.

Risk the survival of his city. Or its freedom.

Will Estegrad survive? And will it ever be the same?

The City at the Edge of Progress is a dystopian short story where freedom must be fought for, where underdogs rise against their oppressors, and honour and loyalty work hand in hand with a desire for liberty. A must-read for fans of dystopian speculative fiction and stories of resistance.

Fake voice completely ruined the whole book. Flat boring and totally ruined the book. Waste of my time.
