Marooned: Deliverance

by Carl Lakeland

Survival is not mercy. It is arithmetic.

When Richard Gabriel survives the unthinkable-shipwreck, starvation, and a world that no longer resembles the one he knew-he believes endurance alone might be enough to carry him forward. He is wrong.

Rescued into Australee, a fragile colonial system clinging to order at the edge of collapse, Rick finds a society that hasn't fallen apart so much as hardened. Resources are measured. Borders are enforced. People are counted, classified, and quietly written off. Stability is maintained not through compassion, but through discipline.

Rick's brother Jason understands this better than anyone. Where Rick still searches for meaning, Jason has learned to operate the system as it is-efficient, unsentimental, and lethal when required. As threats grow beyond the frontier and violence begins to reshape the land, Jason rises, becoming something far more dangerous than a soldier: a man who knows how to redraw the rules.

When tragedy strikes and everything Rick loves is taken from him, he is forced to confront a brutal truth. In a world governed by maps and ledgers, justice does not arrive as salvation. It arrives as policy.

What follows is not a story of revenge, but of consequence. Not heroism, but decision. Not hope-but resolve.

As Australee tightens its grip and the frontier is erased line by line, Rick must choose what kind of man he will be when mercy is no longer part of the equation. His final act will not save the world-but it will define what survives within it.

Marooned: Deliverance is a stark, uncompromising story of survival after collapse, where civilisation doesn't end-it reorganises. A story about brothers, loss, and the terrifying efficiency of order, it asks a single, haunting question:

When everything has been taken from you, what are you still willing to allow?

Autorenporträt

Carl Lakeland writes fiction that explores consequence, survival, and the quiet moments that follow collapse.

His work moves between literary fiction, thrillers, and post-apocalyptic narratives, often centred on characters pushed beyond certainty and forced to reckon with what remains.

Drawing on a lifelong interest in history, human behaviour, and systems under pressure, Lakeland's stories favour restraint over spectacle and moral weight over easy resolution.

His characters are rarely heroes in the traditional sense; they are people navigating the aftermath of decisions already made.

Carl Lakeland lives and writes in Melbourne Australia.
