The Far Rim

THE NEW WORLD WAS BUILT TO PRESERVE HUMANITY. HIDDEN INSIDE IT ARE ENTIRE POPULATIONS WHO WERE NEVER TOLD THE OTHERS SURVIVED.

Steve Glenning agreed to remain on the New World for twenty-eight days. On day seven, two residents open a pressure door leading into a district everyone believed was empty.

Someone has been living beyond it for six years—and they were told the primary settlement had been destroyed.

THE LIE CARRIES STEVE'S NAME.

Behind the walls, more survivors begin to answer. Each isolated community has its own rules, its own shortages, and its own version of a catastrophe that never happened. Their air, water, and survival systems are secretly connected, but cooperation comes with a dangerous cost: the machinery beneath the New World is interpreting every act of mutual aid as consent to a single governing authority.

And Steve's stolen identity has already approved the result.

To stop the system, Steve, Wynn, and A503 must help the residents expose Ascension's final experiment without becoming the rulers it expects them to be. But the farther they travel along the unfinished rim, the clearer the danger becomes: saving everyone may require power no one should be allowed to keep.

The Far Rim is Book Four in the Watch the Wreckage series from USA Today bestselling author A. R. Shaw—a thought-provoking dystopian thriller about artificial intelligence, survival, freedom, and the dangerous line between protection and control.
