Over 1000 pages of a post-apocalyptic struggle in Alaska – the downfall and the fight back, all in one package.
Defiant #1
Comply or fight back? Bury your head or confront the enemy who tells you they’re your friend?
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.
His old man fought a guerrilla war to help others. He taught him about freedom and its value by showing what happened to people without liberty.
Civilization is defined by those in power. Sometimes, that’s not the security anyone wants.
Is it possible to find allies or will Cory 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 authoritarian behemoth?
Is it enough to simply survive to fight another day? Maybe the battle is worth risking his life.
Defiant is a slow burn, a fall toward a dystopian future. It is an in-your-face post-apocalyptic reality that could be now. 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.
Defiant #2 – Defiance
A worldwide conspiracy dismantles civilization one city at a time. What could you do about it? Who would you leave behind?
Even if you were the mayor… Cory Beringer returns in a new confrontation that leaves Fairbanks struggling, suffering, and unable to get back on its feet. Things get worse from there.
Trials, tribulations, conflict, a newly hostile media, and wishful thinkers stand in Cory’s way. He never wanted to be mayor, but since he was, he would do the best job he could. The people had put their trust in him. Until an outside army descended on the city.
And then they hadn’t listened when he told them what they needed to prepare themselves for the upcoming winter. Plant more. Hunt. Fish. Survive!
They were ready, just until they weren’t. The world changed and no matter how much they prepped, nothing could have changed the juggernaut coming their way.
Cory and Laura have to run if they want to live.
