Reparations: The Complete Series (Omnibus Edition)

by Philip Wyeth

Overview

The Reparations Omnibus... Four Books in One!

The year is 2028. A new bureaucracy called the Historical Reparations Administration oversees enforcement of restitution for colonialism and slavery. This is the story of everyday people caught in the crossfire between idealism and technology.

Reparations USA sets the stage with exuberant world-building, bizarre tech, outrageous spectacles, quirky slang, and a diverse cast of sympathetic characters.

Reparations Mind is the darkly satirical examination of how "changing the world" became the religion of an entire generation. Can individuality assert itself over enforced ideology?

Reparations Core is a taut political thriller steeped in psychology and philosophy. Hands will be revealed... pressure applied... and loyalties tested in this perfectly paced installment.

Reparations Maze is the inspired conclusion to this utterly unique series. The sweeping thematic drama hurtles forward breathlessly to a remarkable and rewarding final act.

The Reparations Omnibus... A Not-So-Distant Mirror.

At times comical, literary, and even spiritual, author Philip Wyeth's ambitious future history transcends all expectations. It is an immersive and unflinching exploration of the realm where human aspirations and public policy diverge. (187,000 words)

Editorial Reviews

Praise for Reparations USA:

"Reparations USA could not have come at a more opportune time considering America's current political climate. It is almost eerily prescient in its plot lines and I loved (regrettably) its frightening realism. Extremely well-written and researched, Mr. Wyeth seems to have an innate grasp of our country's moral dilemma and angst as we near the third decade of the 21st century. Regardless of your political persuasion, I highly recommend this novel as a cautionary tale in a country that might well find itself careening into Mr. Wyeth's dystopian view of the future."

Praise for Reparations Mind:

"Once again we are given a story that is character driven, each of them with their own hopes and goals, living in a world that, at times, I found myself waiting for a 1984 Big Brother-like government, character, or even the AI, to reveal itself, to give a tangible enemy to overcome. Yet interestingly the real enemy is society as a whole, as it begins the downfall from the world we know today, into a world of bureaucratic and social idealisms. How do you stand up against good people, doing good things? How can you be expected to help others, if you can't help yourself, (and in some cases aren't allowed to help yourself)?"

Praise for Reparations Core:

"This book exceeded my expectations beyond any words... I loved it!!! When an author is able to create an exciting and compelling storyline with a monumentally important and timely plot that so personally and permanently engages the individual reader, it truly is an incredibly special literary event. Highly recommend this book!!!"
