    About this ebook

    What would you do if everything you were taught about your home planet was a lie? What would you do if you were Left Behind? ENDIRION is a thirteen year old boy like any other. Except his skin is green and it glows. And he doesn’t have any hair on his head or anywhere else on his body. Oh and he lives in a cave underground. But so does everyone on the poisoned Mother Planet. There is little to eat and what they do have is as mutated as the people themselves. Fuel is scarce and technology exists only in history books. Or so they are told. When Endirion and his classmate Harlo are sentenced to hard labor at the Dump they see things that go against everything they have ever known about their planet. Determined to find out the truth the boys set off on a dangerous journey that pits them against angry marshals, mysterious animals, mutant humanoids, and lands them in the belly of a Monstruwhale. It is a harrowing quest that takes them down remote tunnels, across the Lake of Fire, into the Madlands and a whole new world.

    Riya Anne Polcastro

    Armed with a useless liberal arts degree, Riya Anne Polcastro is a student of human behavior and a conduit for raw words. Maybe it is because she learned to read and write in her second language before she learned to do the same in her first. Maybe it is because she was raised a missionary’s daughter at the same time that she was taught to question everything. Maybe there are a whole lot of reasons. Either way, her fascination with mental illness and human interaction is weaved into fiction with a language that is at times caressed and loved, at others beaten into submission. Polcastro aims to join the ranks of great Oregon writers like Ken Kesey and Chuck Palahniuk. Readers have compared her not only to her idols but also to Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson, and Jonathan Safran Foer. She is the author of such dark transgressive novels as Jane., Suicide in Tiny Increments, the upcoming Dentata (or The Novel Formerly Known as Teeth), as well as the chapbook The Truth about Cows, and a narrative non-fiction/memoir entitled Death by Gluten: How Undiagnosed Celiac Almost Cost Me My Life. Her writing also appears in The Anti-Austerity Anthology as well as numerous publications.
