What if, as of today, humans have reached the peak of human advancement? What would you do, if you knew that the earth was on the verge of an environmental catastrophe…? The people of the West Assimilian tribe did not have that warning. But then again, they did not exist before the Great Wave. Their world started as the old one ended – over a 1000 years Post Great Wave.

Welcome to The Settlement – a Science fiction novel of a time period when the human race has once again blossomed. Life has become simple – uninterrupted by the technology that led to the Great Wave’s mass destruction in the first place. But, underneath the surface of this new world, dangerous secrets simmer like an idle volcano, ready to soon erupt.
