With a click, the bread fell into the toaster. One circuit fired the heating coils. Others monitored bread temperature and color.

Yet another circuit was quite unlike all the rest—

as exotic as it was sinister;

when it activated, 368 people would die.

In the 22nd century, the justice system is airtight in the domed city of Arcadia. Human error has been removed. Yet somehow, a well-intentioned young kleptomaniac named Rainville falls through the cracks and is wrongfully convicted of mass M**der.

He is exiled to Wychwood Pr*son, a crumbling necropolis beyond the dome where the dead outnumber the living, where the inmates are also the guards. News of the crime follows him, and he becomes a marked man.

Rainville’s only hope for survival is becoming the first inmate in history to escape Wychwood. Can he do it? The fate of Arcadia depends on it.

Author: John W. Maly is an author and futurist. With degrees in computer science, computer engineering, and law, he works in the field of intellectual property (a world every bit as magical and strange as any of his stories) with a focus on Artificial Intelligence. His hobbies include long-distance motorcycling, caving, scuba diving, collecting tektites, pinball/video game restoration, and judging rum festivals. He resides near the Bermuda Triangle with his extraordinary daughter and a growing collection of strange beasts. He does not put ice in his whisky, nor should you. JURIS EX MACHINA is his first novel.
