Produktbeschreibung

During the reign of Greenley the Third, eleven-year-old Shayna Miller is living underground with her adoptive parents, hiding from the government, which is trying to perfect society by killing anyone who doesn't meet their biological and psychological standards. The experiment has been going on for generations, and so an extensive parallel society of freedom lovers has developed. They call their society Subterra, because so many of them live underground, in tunnels and caves. They refer to their period of history as The Smolder, while adopting a motto of 'Down, but not out.' In Shayna's time, the younger generations, who have never known what it's like to live openly above ground, are getting restless, and wondering if it might be better to risk their lives in a revolt, rather than live in relative safety, but in cramped conditions, with limited options. Still, for the most part, most Subterrans have settled into what has come to seem like a normal life to them, simply staying unnoticed as much as possible, and contenting themselves with making the best of life in whatever little community they're in.

But Shayna's father keeps moving her family from place to place inside Subterra, almost as if he's trying to run from something inside Subterra itself. But what?

Autorenporträt

Kathryn Judson was a newspaper reporter and columnist for many years, before switching over to working for a small indie office supply company that morphed into the Uffda-shop, one of the largest indie bookstores in Oregon. (It has since closed.)

Almost Hopeless Horse was inspired in part by her horse Yob, who was afraid of cattle. Trouble Pug combines a love of history, time travel stories, and her late husband's fondness for a pug that traveled the country with him in his younger days. Why We Raise Belgian Horses got its start in stories from her husband's Norwegian-American family, including a story his grandfather told of a horse with an unusual phobia. The MI5 1/2 series started off as a spoof of spy novels but ended up being more serious than that in places (although still fairly silly overall). When she got tired of dystopian novels that ignore God and don't seem to understand that conversion is an option for people, she launched into the Smolder series, which also pokes sharp sticks into the evils of racism and social engineering, while still having fun with romance and friendship.

Mrs. Judson is an adult convert to Christianity. You will find, if you read her books, that the ones from early in her walk are generally more in line with an Americanized national religion than with the Sermon on the Mount (found in the Bible in Matthew chapters 5 through 7) and other foundational commands of Christ Jesus. It took her a while to realize that some of what she was taught in church and had acquired from pop culture and from reading "Christian" books was often at odds with Jesus and His apostles. Therefore, with many of her books, you'll find American "conservative" values and ways of thinking more than Christian ones. In all cases, you should always compare what is presented against what Christ teaches. When there's a difference, go with Jesus.

She has lived most of her life on the rain shadow side of Oregon but has also lived and worked in a number of other states. She also long ago traveled through Central America, and Canada, and to Japan. Also way back when, she toured with Up With People, and as a lowly flunky helped put on a Superbowl halftime show. In her school days, she was active in community theater, both on and off stage. One summer during her newspaper days, she took time off and worked for a summer stock theater company in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In 2017, she asked her church in Idaho to plug her ...
