Carbon Child
Book One of The Carbon Inheritance Trilogy
In a climate-controlled future where every life is measured by a carbon score, eighteen-year-old Nia Osei is flagged for an unauthorized pregnancy and marked for erasure. A hidden data wafer left behind by her missing mother reveals a truth the Authority has buried: the Dome is not protecting the world, it is controlling it.
Forced into the wastelands, Nia races to uncover the Mother Record before the system wipes it forever. Drones hunt by heartbeat, memories can be rewritten, and survival depends on more than compliance.
Carbon Child is a gripping dystopian sci-fi thriller about a girl who refuses to be counted out.
About C.J. VOSS
C.J. Voss writes fiction where history, power, and human ambition collide — and where systems built in shadow shape the world long after their architects are gone. Blending meticulous research with speculative edge, Voss explores the architecture of empire, the language of control, and the cost of survival.
Mandate of Shadows is the first in a planned series following a journalist’s descent into a conspiracy embedded in Africa’s aid and intelligence networks. Voss’s current project, Carbon Child, turns toward speculative climate fiction, imagining a near-future society where carbon guilt is measured, inherited, and enforced.
