About ACADIA (Children of Acadia)

Two hundred years ago, the Roaches swept across the Earth, annihilating everything in their path. Humanity’s remnants retreated behind the walls of Acadia—a militarized city where every citizen’s worth is dictated by a ruthless merit score. Earn enough points and you live in safety. Fall short, and you’re Rifted—cast into the depths beyond salvation. Jessica teeters on the edge of that fate, forced into the Mahghetto—an unforgiving gauntlet where failure means death. Cojax is a young soldier desperate to prove himself in a society that sees him as expendable. When they uncover a long-guarded secret, the two are thrust into a conspiracy that could shatter Acadia’s rigid order and ignite a war it cannot win. In Acadia, loyalty is rewarded… until the day it kills you. BOOKLIFE REVIEW: Editor's Pick BookLife hails ACADIA as a “rousing series-starter of a cyberfuture city under siege and facing change.” The review applauds Nixon’s “deftly described cyber-Roman world,” where high ideals collide with harsh realities, and “philosophical debates prove as exciting as the memorable action.” As the truth of Acadia’s origins emerges, Nixon “dissects a dystopian society” and exposes “the rotten underpinnings of a civilization that denies basic humanity.” Both a pulse-pounding rebellion and a revelation of conscience, ACADIA is a riveting exploration of power, loyalty, and the price of survival.
