Earth has become a dangerous place with humanity taking to space for better planets to call home. Those that remained adapted to their new environment, a lack of technology, and a shaky justice system under the High Sheriff. The life that they know is shaken when a stranger arrives, having fallen from the sky. The stranger is on a mission to help Earth but her arrival is met with hostility and distrust. All she knows is that she wants to complete her mission and return home.

A compelling opening sets the tone with the residents on Earth discovering the wreckage of a ship which leads to a turn of events perfectly fitting with a Western. It explores the new reality that the residents are living on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Friction is a consistent theme throughout such as the reactions people have toward the stranger and between the people of the planet as they’re experiencing a lawless environment. Curtis blends science fiction elements into this Western-inspired world, using it as a brilliant backdrop for the stranger’s adventure across it. /Frontier/ has a unique premise that puts a fresh perspective on the Western and science fiction genres with a stunning setting, strong voice, and addictive premise.
