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.

Citizen Hill: Autonomous Zone

Citizen avoided the oncoming crowd by crossing the street. She wore the hood up over her face and stuffed her hands in her pockets. With the nano-brace, she could walk without a limp. It was still officially illegal to wear a hood in public, but so many residents were doing it now, the agents stopped enforcing it. The drones were not even sending the notice. The Federation resources must be spread thin these days.


A crowd passed her. It was a protest of some kind, but it was not violent yet. It was just a mass of people walking the streets together because they could.


They may not be official Elysium yet, but they were on the right track.


The crowd contained seventeen people: twelve males and five females. They were not violent or loud, but they were clearly exercising their power by being out in the open like this. The human nature of free will and choice that was being displayed on such a large-scale intrigued Citizen.
