Publisher's summary

Staying on the Rings of Hydra will kill David Hagen… So might escaping them.

To say “life is tough” for this hard-working Class-b mechanic would be one hell of an understatement. No matter how much he slaves away, a few things never change. His family is moved from one dumpy little cube to the next after the hunger riots destroy his home. There’s never enough food. The string of government-mandated jobs gets worse and worse, and he’s tired of living in filth and soot. To top it all off, his wife is dying from the “salt death.”
After being promised a new home, only to have that dream crushed, too, David decides he’s had enough. He resolves to escape the outer rings of Western Hydra with his wife and child, his beloved brother, Joe, and more than a dozen rag-tag Class-b workers that are equally fed up with life on the crowded outer ring. But it won’t be easy, as the GAD—Earth’s ever-powerful government—is always watching and waiting to punish those who step out of line.

The Rings of Hydra: The Great Escape is the third installment in Kevin P. Sullivan’s epic dystopian fantasy series, The Rings of Hydra. This prelude to the original novel tells the story of David Hagen’s daring and life-changing escape from Western Hydra, into the wild and forbidden Olympic Forest, where he plants the seeds of a new life for his family, away from the crowds and oppression of the floating cities—the rings—on which humanity is mandated to live.

This is speculative fiction at its finest, as The Great Escape tells a tale of danger and passion, set in 25th Century Earth. You will experience life on the absolute lowest societal rung, the depression and rage that it creates, and the burning desire and drive necessary to pull yourself from it: to pull off… the great escape.
