Gerglior Mayulati

Young adult and sci-fi, this book evolves from a 'what-if' scenario: what if planets were forced to pay taxes for every living thing in their biomes, not just the people? Earth, eventually, is subjected to this, and as you might expect... we don't handle it well. Conspiracies arise, as do cults: to eliminate life, to eliminate payments. Earth finds it can't escape the yoke of Dole Enterprises, who is offering them the services of their Ozone Depletion Delay Fortress on condition they pay taxes for every living thing on the planet benefiting from it. Our protagonists are subjected to the mercy of the Fans of Misty, one of the aforementioned cults, at a real-world location for a jaw-dropping finale
