ARTHE: The Last Unauthorised Thought (Tales of Silent Truth Book 2)
About
In the year 2074, nobody is hungry. Nobody is poor. Nobody is lonely. Nobody is free.
Earth is now known as ARTHE, a perfectly ordered world governed by the Apollonian Authority. Citizens live forever, think together, and obey without question. Their skin is purple. Their identities are approved. Their meals are rationed. Their thoughts are guided through endless frequencies broadcast directly into their minds.
Wars have ended. Religion has vanished. Politics has been erased.
History survives only as a warning, locked inside Authority libraries few citizens ever visit. Most people call it paradise. The Delvers call it extinction.
When an ancient fragment of forbidden knowledge surfaces beneath the city of 22-47, once known as York, a small band of Delvers discovers evidence that humanity surrendered far more than conflict and suffering. Hidden beneath decades of synthetic harmony lies a secret capable of shattering the Authority’s greatest illusion.
For the first time in generations, citizens begin to experience something the regime cannot permit: their own thoughts.
Hunted across signal-blocked zones, abandoned tunnels, and the forgotten ruins beneath ARTHE, the Delvers launch a desperate rebellion against the most powerful force ever created, a system that does not control bodies, but minds.
The Authority promises safety. The Delvers promise uncertainty. Humanity must decide which is worth more.
ARTHE: The Last Unauthorised Thought is a fast-paced dystopian adventure about freedom, conformity, identity, and the dangerous power of thinking for yourself.
For readers who enjoy Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, and The Hunger Games, it asks a chilling question:
What if the end of human suffering was also the end of being human?
