Behind The Cost of Survival

 

The Cost of Survival is a science  fiction thriller exploring the dark side of human nature from a world on

the brink of destruction Author J. L. Stowers asks the question, “What if humankind could no longer

reproduce?” The answer is shockingly disturbing, but perhaps not too far from the truth if our dark

history repeats itself.

The main character, Walt Marshall, is cynical and distrus'ul of the very government who hired him. Yet

he can’t say no to a once in a lifeme mission to a remote area devoid of the masses and their

overwhelming use of technology. He makes his new home outside a military camp in a war-torn valley in

hopes to restore the area to its once frui'ul nature. However, Walt quickly realizes things aren’t what

they seem.

Walt stumbles upon an unspeakable secret regarding the truth as to why this valley was selected for

colonizaon. Readers are emerged in Walt’s journey and internal con0ict. The closer he gets to nding

answers, the more he’s reminded of the emoonal anguish he tried to leave behind. His path to the

truth leads through espionage and treason all while forcing Walt out of his comfort zone. The long me

loner is forced to trust and rely on the people around him in order to uncover the facts.

This story is lled with twists, turns, and symbolism to keep readers on their toes. However, the best

thing the rst book in the Genesis Rising series has to o2er is a glimpse at the lore fueling the trilogy. In

the short story prequel, Project Genesis, we witness the discovery of the Genesis documents and the

formaon of the secret organizaon behind the translaon. In The Cost of Survival, Walt Marshall

experiences the mysterious language once more. We learn some of the informaon uncovered in the

Genesis documents and more will be revealed throughout the series.

This incredible journey will take readers beyond what they’ve expected and it all starts with learning the

secrets within The Cost of Survival.
