QUALIA & the Days Beyond

QUALIA, a global underground hacker group set out to right the wrongs the justice system is either too inept or corrupt to take on, has a leader who leaves no shadows. He is among the top of the FBI’s most wanted list, and yet, his identity is known to not one other person in this world, nor is the fact that he is a high school student. That’s right. Arthur Pearce, the completely anonymous master behind a worldwide activist force composed of elite hackers together more competent and powerful than the CIA, goes to a public high school in the suburbs of Canada’s capital city. When Arthur isn’t studying for his math tests, he embarks on digital operations to take down the world’s most heinous criminals untouchable by the police. Unlike government agencies, QUALIA doesn’t need to follow an ethical code. Once Arthur and his followers put their minds to something, mountains will be flattened and canyons will be raised. However, despite Arthur having godlike powers in the world of 1s and 0s, he found himself dealing with a new sort of challenge when two girls suddenly showed up at his doorstep, dirty and famished after having to wander across the nation. But it’s not only their origins that are puzzling, these girls also seem to possess supernatural abilities beyond scientific explanation. After being tossed into the eye of a storm he never knew existed, Arthur discovers strange connections between the two girls of mystery and a doomsday cult who call themselves the Days Beyond. Very soon, Arthur’s already hectic life will be flipped upside down as the consequences upon his shoulders escalate rapidly into the stratosphere. Heavily-armed terrorists, deep-state councils, super-powered teenagers. Arthur is no more than a genius computer nerd, but he will have to face these messes head-on while unraveling the yarn of what he calls reality and normality.
