Mad Mitch

For a thousand years the establishment have ruled the planet Earth. There are no more countries, no famine, no disease, no wars on terra firma. The eighties, nineties and hundreds rule the world with an iron fist, while the lower seventies aren’t even aware of their existence. Into this world is born a child whose parents are murdered for challenging the establishment. Scheduled from six years old for assassination, Mad Mitch McIntosh has to fight for every day of his life. Fixed as a forty-eight, Mitch is destined to become a space infantryman. His intellect, courage and determination becomes a never-ending thorn in the side of the establishment. In the end they try and exile him on a journey to the stars with a crew from the upper echelons of society, a journey with his natural enemies to colonise a new planet that orbits a far distant sun. The Icarus project is the establishments last chance to ward off impending starvation from overpopulation. The crew of the Daedalus are in for a nasty surprise when they finally reach the so-called unpopulated world. With Mitch as a part of the crew, they may well stand a chance, but can they fight off a lifetime of prejudice to seek his help and save their own lives?
