When her parents and brothers mysteriously died nine years ago, Relle Brin was sent to a Daughter House as a ward of the state. There, she has lived a hard life with other orphan girls under the cruel and unjust Superiors, unable to leave until she reaches the age of majority. Now, as her eighteenth birthday approaches, she is given the chance to participate in the televised, government-run competition known as The Obstacle. It is a rare opportunity to win the ultimate prize lacking in the lives of all citizens-a life of personal freedom-free from all government control.
But there are those who know and understand the real objectives of the Obstacle, and the true intentions of the state. They will work hard to enlist Relle to join their cause in an effort to gather information to expose the government, its evil purposes, and its phantom reward. If she agrees, Relle will risk her life in a noble effort to help reveal the brutalities of this depraved contest.
What can one eighteen year old orphan girl do?
More than you know.

About the author

Frank Casso has recently released "WORTH EVERYTHING: Why Your Self-Esteem Should Flow from God". This is a point-by-point explanation of how and why Christians should rely on God's opinion of them; specifically as it relates to self-esteem and self-image. It is intended to encourage the Believer to abandon the world's measurements and standards for self-worth, and replace them with Biblical truths that will improve and enhance their spiritual walk and personal witness.
WORTH EVERYTHING is sure to inspire the Believer into reshaping their own personal opinion of himself or herself into a view and perspective that more closely reflects the value that God has placed on each of us. If you (or someone you know) regularly struggle with self-image and self-worth, then this book is a must read.
++++++
Frank is also the co-author of "The OBSTACLE", which is the first novel in a series by the same name. A fan himself of futuristic settings such as Star Trek and Star Wars, Frank is often caught up in the entire mythology and fictional history of certain scifi genres, as well as the individual stories they tell.
Due to the current interest in dystopian fiction and alternate realities, he and his co-author set out to do some world-building of their own. They have laid the groundwork nicely in their debut novel, the first in The OBSTACLE Series. It is a planned, three-part story that is rich in symbolism, with some of its mythology actually rooted in certain true historical events. The strong female lead in the trilogy is a complex individual with mysterious and unforeseen potential. Her central role is further complemented by the depth and diversity of multiple supporting characters, not all of whom are friendly towards her. It will be up to the female heroine to determine who to trust, and how to advance the cause against oppressive forces.
Frank and his co-writer, Chris, are currently working on the second installment of The Obstacle Series. They are also developing and writing other novels that are unrelated to this storyline, but still take advantage of the imaginary worlds that alternate realities can offer.
You're sure to enjoy "The OBSTACLE", the first of many planned forays into the science fiction universe created by Frank Casso and Chris Casso.
