Defiant

By Craig Martelle

Who decides what’s best for Alaskans? Mandates from on high, for the greater good. Reduce violence. Eliminate hunger. Save the people by dehumanizing them. Make them dependent. Take the citizens’ voice. Remove their claws.

Cory Beringer’s old man took him to Rhodesia to fight as a mercenary when the boy was thirteen. Who does that? Someone who believes when society falls, it won’t be a catastrophic train wreck. It will be the slow death that a glacier delivers to a town in its path and knowing how to fight a guerrilla war will be the only way to survive. He taught him about freedom and its value by showing what happened to people without liberty.

Civilization is defined by those in power.

Cory has to choose. Fight to survive or fight back. Bury his head or confront the faceless enemy of the minions from an authoritarian state.

Is it possible to find allies or will he have to go it alone? One by one, the dominos start to fall. When is it too late? When will he be crushed by the growing behemoth?

Is it enough to simply survive to fight another day? Maybe the battle is worth risking his life.

Atlas Shrugged meets 1984 in Alaska. Look for the signs. They’re out there. Refuse to let the weeds take root. Defiant! Join the resistance today.
