Less Than Human
Less Than Human is a coming of age story set in a cyberpunk-esque 23rd century where intergalactic travel has become commonplace. Follow Korvir Luvandre, a 15 year old Geisswick from the planet Russlteria who immigrated to Earth with his family when he was 3, as he navigates an increasingly disturbing authoritarian society as a minority along with friends and family. His relationships with brother Vatiph, best friend Nova, new friend Babela, and new found rival Bex are all integral to his growth as a person. As the little brother of the leader of a local gang, The Mavericks, Korvir is intrinsically tied to the gang, and his actions have repercussions to not only himself, but everyone else associated with the gang. He learns this the hard way when he picks a fight with the wrong person, and it ends up coming down on everyone else.
