In a world with dwindling birth
rates, all young women must submit to compulsory fertility checks at the age of
thirteen. For those able to conceive, a docile existence inside the Birthing
Schools beckons—far worse if they fall into the wrong hands.

When the clandestine Baby Farmers, and their brutal leader Miko, arrive to
snatch his daughter, Michael must make a split-second choice: risk his own
freedom to protect hers… or lose her forever. Mandate Thirteen is
a gritty dystopian thriller for fans of Children of Men, A Handmaid’s
Tale, and The Running Man.

“An action-packed, cross-country adventure between father and daughter as they
dodge authorities, reconnect with old acquaintances, and meet new people (good,
bad, and crazy), forging connections at every stop. I loved every aspect of
their journey and how they learned so much about themselves on the way. This is
dystopian in every way that matters. A worthy addition to any library.” Preye,
Literary Darlings

About Joseph J. Dowling:

Joseph always knew he would write seriously one day. That
moment arrived in 2020, when his thriving hospitality business was temporarily
shuttered. With time on his hands, he quickly fell into an obsession and became
a keen student of the craft. 

Since finding the passion, Joseph can’t imagine life without
stories rattling around his head. Eager to make up for lost time, he’s been
fairly prolific, and his short stories have appeared in several anthologies and
literary magazines. Even better, his rejections are getting nicer by the week.

Joseph lives in London with his wife and their Scotty dog.
Mandate: THIRTEEN will be his first published novel. Scroll to the bottom of
