Produktbeschreibung

The peace laws were supposed to bring stability. The generational debt act pledged to restore prosperity. And the designated scapegoats guaranteed security outside the facilities. But those promises began failing years ago. Outside the facilities, the peace laws must be observed. It left only the scapegoats as an outlet for increasingly frustrated clients. What few protections the scapegoats had from the vicious whims of angry clients are disappearing as the facilities are sold to the highest bidder. No one outside will save them. Rescue and revolution must come from within. For decades they did not complain. They did not resist. They did not fight back. Now, they must reciprocate.

Autorenporträt

A severe addiction to Post-apocalyptic literature combined with a lifetime of a very rural existence, first in central Maine and now in northern Idaho naturally led to both of Deirdre's novels: The Jade Seed and After the Cure.
Deirdre's education in anthropology and peace and conflict studies prompted the central idea for After the Cure: How do people live with each other after doing horrendous things to each other? How do societies put themselves together or continue to exist after terrible wars? What is day to day existence like when such violence exists within living memory? Though fiction can never come close to the reality of living with atrocity, it can help us ask important questions about our world and our treatment of each other.
Since living in the woods makes it all too easy to imagine being one of the last people left in the world, After the Cure is only the first novel of several that will take place in a post-apocalyptic, "post-zombie" world.
