Custodians of the Future

Stockholm. New Year’s Eve. One janitor squad. One mystery compound. One hell of a day. This is literary sci fi for adults or precocious young adults. //// “You are a vital component of Global Waste” went the company motivational email… Irena wants to fit in, and she needs the job, so she tries not to rock the boat. But discovering something strange and potentially deadly in Stockholm's wastewater sends her fellow janitor squad members off the rails. Their hare-brained assumptions and accusations, fueled by the web site 'Syllojizm,' drive them to ever more dangerous mayhem. Irena is caught between her integrity and her need for security. It’s New Year’s Eve, 2099. Can Irena get to the bottom of the wastewater mystery while containing her teammates, staying out of prison, and escaping Luxembourger street vendors, Buddhist monks, and the dreaded Canadian Space Agency? //// https://xhoyenauthor.com/cotf
