Book Overview
Arlo was always curious about Nirvana. It was rumored to be impenetrable by outside invaders for thousands of years. Through hearsay, it was cities within countless cities protected by a barrier and magnificent army. Nirvana’s laws were not the same laws outside in the wild.
Between working construction building cement dwellings and the possibility of being drafted into war for five years, Arlo had had enough, and wanted out. Since his parents and all his siblings died in past wars, he wanted to see if there was a better life for himself outside of his country. He secretly met with a group of people called Vast, who thought the same as he did. For months, they had been plotting a voyage to the holy state, Nirvana. He had heard gossip of some people making it, though most did not. He was willing to take that leap of faith. In his opinion, it was better than building with stones, steel, and cables for the rest of his life.
