The novel begins on a planet called Hope, which “was built on the principle of universal love and cooperation” (8), but conflict has emerged, and the young woman protagonist is on a quest to find answers and right wrongs. Hope is high tech, based on its own inventors, who developed flying cars, “a host of eco-friendly power sources,” “a lifestyle and herbs that prevented aging, and abolished disease” (8). Hope had “a system without currency, and education program that reinvigorated learning, punishment without prisons, and a score of never-before seen shifts in humanity” (8). There are two sequels. Ryla 2213. Vol. 2. Chicago, IL: YSolstar, 2015 129 pp. continues the adventures of Rayla, now in the waters under the Martian surface.  Eartha 2198. Chicago, IL: Uraeus88, 2019 103 pp. is a prequel.
