This book is set in a not too distant future that is been
impacted by the divisiveness of today's politics. You don't need to be
clairvoyant to consider the impact that the divisiveness in our nation today
could easily lead to a second Civil War. When the commander-in-chief is
suggesting that we assault our neighbor
if they disagree with anything he says then you can see how this could lead to
future Civil War.
The protagonist is a
surgeon who has lost her arm in a battle and is currently trying to survive on
veteran’s benefits and a prosthetic arm that is insufficient to allow her to
continue her profession as a surgeon.
Our protagonist is also black and this fact postulates that
in that divisive near future skin color will lead to discrimination and anger.
Our doctor is angry, angry at a society that is treated differently based on
their color, angry at a society that can
have a civil war and angry about the loss of role of her arm.
She becomes embroiled with a woman who confuses her as to
her motivations and talents. The two of
them seek to find what is truly the root cause of the many deaths and the
destruction internally of a nation.
This book was really well done and you could feel the anger
coming off the pages and say that was justified.
I highly recommend.
After posting on Amazon, I read some of the other reviews, I don't do that before I write my own for obvious reasons. I was surprised at the number of people who got hung up on a Sherlock Holmes comparison that seemed like a stretch to me.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
