Torch Song: A Kickass Heroine, A Post-Apocalyptic World: Book One Of The Blackjack Trilogy - Plot & Excerpts
I was having trouble sleeping. I knew a lot; I didn’t know enough. I wanted to stay. I wanted to dash back to Redwood and actively, in person, rally its defenders. Defenders? I had to laugh at the thought. Political dreamers like Macris and Petra and Gran? The social workers who tried so hard to get vax-dregs to the poor, and often failed? The cops who talked about bandit-bashing but managed to bash one out of twenty, if that? The collection of corrupt and silly and mostly harmless sheriffs who strutted around their territories and held meetings from time to time in San Francisco to talk about how good they were at keeping the peace while eating a lot of sushi and pasta and dim sum? The chiefs who got drunk with the sheriffs or built moats around their own little castles? The council that had been talking for five years about creating some sort of guard that would protect the borders if they needed protecting? What would happen to beautiful, incompetent, wonderfully disorganized Redwood if Rocky overran the West?
