The Drowned
Concordat
Behind the walls of a sealed-off Netherlands, the food is grown in vats and the truth is rationed like everything else. Elara Di Canti has never doubted the system — she's devoted her life to keeping it running, certain it's the righteous thing to do. What it costs the soul is a different question. The Drowned Concordat — by Hamish C. Rannoch.
About the Author
Hamish C. Rannoch is a writer of hard science fiction and dystopian futures, best known for his gripping trilogy, The Drowned Concordat (The Rise of the Covenant, The Terminal Exodus, and The Sterile Eden).
Drawing upon an intricate fascination with advanced chemistry, complex systems, and structural logistics, Rannoch crafts hard-edged narratives set against the backdrop of flooded coastlines, hyper-dense arcologies, and subterranean resistance movements. His work explores the gritty intersection of human resilience, large-scale technological adaptation, and the quiet ideological costs of survival.
When he isn't mapping out dystopian political friction and resource allocation algorithms, he can usually be found deep in research or tinkering with chemical architecture. He lives and writes in Europe.
