ROGUE, a series
After a perfect storm of global crises culminated in the Final War of 2030, the remaining survivors polarized into two ideologically opposed colonies. One doubled down on fatalistic determinism, but the other has been racing to beat extinction with research and rations. And nuclear physicist Julie Garou promises to deliver a solution with a plasma fusion reactor, but after her program is rejected by her colony's board of governors, she defects with a subordinate and tries to find a sympathizer among the skeptics.
