THE COLONY is an apocalyptic tale of a world gone mad. Humans have tampered with nature,and now they’ve been driven underground and must live in primitive structures reminiscent of medieval dungeons. Progress and innovation have been thwarted. At the center of this tale is Sam, who emerges as the unlikely leader. Throughout the story, Sam attempts to maintain his moral compass. He is strong, brave and unflinching in his desire to survive and make a new life for himself. Additionally, the story contains an ample dose of suspense and blood-curdling sequences after the Ferals arrive.
