Citizen Hill's a genetically enhanced warrior trained to hunt infected humans and rogue Gollums. When Elysium moves into the Autonomous Zone declaring ownership, the Therian Federation tasks her with a mission: infiltrate the organization, find the leader, Julian Bless, and disband the followers. Once on the inside, she discovers a horde of infected humans and Gollums responsible for a series of brutal attacks devastating the Township of New Therian.

Fearing a Gollum invasion, the leaders of New Therian quarantine the city and implement a lockdown, sealing the city in a dome. Citizen turns to the humans of Elysium for survival, but she soon finds herself at odds with her programming, her creators, and what it means to be human. Fighting at Julian Bless' side, she discovers there’s more to the virus, the Federation Leadership, and her origins.

Citizen Hill: Autonomous Zone is created by Simon Sayz, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
