Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Nabka by Jason S. Walters






Nakba is defined by the author as an Arabic word meaning disaster, catastrophe or cataclysm.  In this book it is also synonymous with diaspora.  The world has been homogenized by Posthegemony rule.  Everyone is happy and everyone is in their place until silverscreen icon lifts from the planet and flaunts dissonance in the collective Posthegemony face.

In many ways the story here is more important than the characters that populate it.  The author has defined the primary dissents as Interesting People.  The definition places Interesting People as semi-mythological until they define the unified power of the Posthegemony.   I delighted in the Interesting People concept.  

Downstar was another concept that was delightful.  Not only are special needs folks mentioned, they command a major role in the book and it appears in the fore coming books.

I’ve not encountered Mr. Walters work before but I will most definitely be looking for the sequel to this excellent novel.   I see some interesting reading ahead!

I highly recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
