Trigger Warning: Torture, rape, graphic violence In this cautionary tale of the decay of democratic systems, author Kimberly Amato delivers the chilling reminder that every generation discards the lessons of history at its own peril - and that of generations to come. On New Year's Day 2045, a desperate remnant of the 20-year-old resistance prepares for its final stand against the ruthless tyranny of the new world order. As cells of resistance across the world crumble, this tattered underground - literally, housed in the subterranean tunnels of the New York subway - strikes on two fronts: the prison which conceals a sadistic experimental medical facility and the very seat of power, where the battle reaches its explosive conclusion. Their leader Ellie Goldman, a renegade agent of the former Multinational Security Council remembers democracy in its last throes. Yet as disillusioned, debased, and desperate - one could argue, insane - as Ellie is, she retains the cache of compassion. Amato has created a soul-grindingly brutal post-apocalyptic world where everybody is a potential enemy-anybody could turn you in to the authorities. Human life is worthless; women, useless except as receptacles. Skin color is a crime. The prisons are full of thought criminals, people of color, women, and rebels, overseen by guards whose fate has been determined by the state's assignment testing. Mistrust and division are everywhere, even among the brothers of the resistance, even between the real brothers, Sam, a student dedicated to the resistance, and Tim, a prison guard ensnared in the government's torturing, extremely violent and sadistic machine. As the novel accelerates to its shocking but inevitable conclusion, the brothers act out the timeless struggle between love and so-called "duty"-actually the noose of authoritarianism--as the fate of humanity is decided by one idealistic woman determined to give the world a fresh start.

Brushstrokes is a collection of haiku that delve into the feelings of first attraction and romance. From the "prelude" of a single glance to the "comfortable drift into each other's thoughts", these poems explore - via nature imagery and subtle human interactions - the wonder of falling in love.

Fortunately, not everyone.

My name is Ashe, and I'm one of millions of Imperial Conscripts. Like everyone else, I just want to get through my term with as few demerits and as much excitement as possible. That way I'd actually have a good chance to get into a proper Academy, and not have to go with my back-up plan of joining a minor Strike-Wave league as a goalie prospect. You'd think that would be easy, considering how many people manage it all the time. Sadly I've got a disadvantage that not many in the Empire share... I'm Human. Not even halfway through my term of service, and I've already been assigned to more units than most conscripts will in their entire career. If I'm not being mocked for my appearance, I'm not believed when I investigate corruption and problems. All I want is a chance to prove myself, to prove that I'm worthy of joining Imperial Intelligence even before my conscription is over. I may even have a chance on Oshflara; a multi-species colony. Officially a quiet world where the cultures of the Empire can live together in peace, I know better. Any planet with multiple species is one that's got to have plenty of problems, and with problems there could be chances to test myself. With luck it will be the perfect place to root out secrets, discover hidden knowledge, and maybe even impress my new squad. If I can pull it off, it'll show off my investigative skills in the best way possible. If I can't... I can only hope I'll survive it.

Love is heightened to new levels when two people meet in unusual circumstances. The undeniable calling of their lives from the universe to bring them together and the the twist of fate that keeps them apart. The surmountable pain endured draws them closer in a true test of unconditional love. The book symbolizes our desire to love and to be loved. Many have past wounds that never healed because of abuse, abandonment, fear, oppression, even betrayal sometimes from our very own families. I do believe our creator loves us unconditionally and we do have these life lessons that help us to recognize that we are not divided but whole. We associate love with conditions as we set expectations; yet, it is so much more in our triumph over self.
