Produktbeschreibung

The Disqualification Center is a dystopian/utopian novella that unfolds in a time of accelerated climate destabilization and pandemics after the dissolution of the United States and civil war. The reader accompanies a transient undergoing immigration procedures on the border of Aia and the Inter-Entity Zone occupied by UN peacekeeping forces. Our tale begins in medias res with Transient 2-0-5-3-9-1-9-C-1-8-6 passing through a gauntlet of medical screening and security checks on his way into the foreboding citadel at the heart of the sprawling refugee camp known as Tin Town. Inside he will face three inquests. Only the incorruptible can pass into Aia's Dominion.

Autorenporträt

Joshua M. Bigley was born in the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York on a farm with over 80 horses long in the tooth. He has an older brother and a younger sister. His father talked to cows and farmers on the radio, gave rides in a sleigh festooned with jingle bells, and poured cheap beer as the proprietor of a tavern named the Junction--where there's always a function. And then vanished. He rode west following the sun and turned up on a Navajo reservation cowboying and teaching earth science. Joshua's mother moved to Syracuse and married the Iceman, founder of Ice Systems of America. When he was still a child he discovered a time-machine in the wood-cellar/wine-cellar/bomb-shelter, crept through cretaceous jungles, and was bowled over by a charging pachycephalosaur, gored by a frenzying stygimoloch when he mistakenly wandered into its spawning grounds, feasted on the precious eggs of an archaeopteryx, ancestor to birds, and was nearly sacrificed by an Aztec priest-king millions of years later. Escaping through Time, in a malfunctioning time machine (but that's another story), he ended up on a dark planet, a wasteland resembling Earth with canceled skies under a black pall. At the end of a long basalt road half-buried in shifting sands and marked with ancient standing stones, Joshua encountered a dark tower and a stranger in black with hourglass eyes. He stopped traveling in time after that and only does it now, on rare occasions, when he's got time.

He studied in Britain and lectured at the M.I.T of China.
