The Prisoner of Genda - Part 8 The Hero

This story is a submission for an anthology based on the world of the novel Star's Reach by John Michael Greer. The novel is set in a de-industrial future United States known as Meriga. For more information see: http://merigaproject.blogspot.com.au/

The story is set in a town in Genda (Canada), somewhere in eastern Ontario near Quebec. The time frame is approx. 25^th century. Weather patterns have settled after the long drought and it is a period of ‘peace and prosperity’ including trade with Rosh (Russia) across the northern ocean protected by the Genda navy and the southern neighbours Meriga and Meyco.

I have included a glossary of new words below the story.
