Description

Will Barrent wakes up in a spaceship, with no memory of who he is, nor what has he done. But, he finds himself on a spaceship which transports criminals from Earth to Omega, a brutal prison-planet. The only way to survive on this planet is to commit endless series of crimes.
The Earth is a utopian world, based on mutual trust and conformity of people. It is a stagnant planet that doesn’t develop socially or technologically. The stability and peace of the planet is maintained by brainwashing children’s minds.
Earth and Omega are quite similar in terms of their ideologies and different in the words. The inhabitants Omega worship Evil, whereas on Earth people belong to one religion which is based on all of the good aspects of the previous religions.
Will doesn’t know why he is sent to Omega, for he has recollection of his past. His mission is to find out the truth about his incarceration and to find a way to return to Earth and clear his name.
But will he survive on Omega? Will he succeed in his mission?
