Repression
In a world torn apart then rebuilt by religious fanatics, personal freedom is a thing of the past. A young woman can be snatched right off the street and made a prisoner simply for voicing an opinion against the world government. Thus it is with Dawn. While walking home one day, she is grabbed, shackled and locked in a steel box to be taken away to a prison for “penitence and purification.” Which means she is constantly restrained by handcuffs and ropes and other devices designed to inflict pain upon innocent bodies.
She is forced by the iron grip of shackles and the tight clutch of ropes to a life of constant, endless prayer and punishment at the mercy of sadistic nuns. Then she finds that there is more to her prison than her spiritual salvation and gratification for the nuns who, undoubtedly, delight in causing pain.
She is told that escape from the prison is impossible. But Dawn is tough, and determined to find a way.

About the author
John Savage
332 books17 followersJohn began ghost-writing Frank Campbell’s novels. In fact, the last ten novels credited to Frank Campbell were actually written by John Savage.
After Frank’s death, John began selling novels under his own name to House of Milan. He also wrote for Sandpiper Press, Olympia Press and Bon-Vue, all being published as paperbacks. For a while he dropped out of the marketplace but then came back when ebooks became popular. He is currently writing B&D novels for Strict Publishing, and occasionally non-B&D books under a different name.
As to the man himself, he was born in 1943, is married and has two grown children. He is a Viet Nam era veteran. His main career has been in computers, ranging from programmer to systems analyst. He still programs computers and enjoys it. His B.S. and M.S. are in computer science, but in addition, he has a PhD in, of all fields, astronomy! This is the reason for the nickname “Doc” Savage being stuck on him (“Doc” Savage was a well-known fictional character from the 30’s). Today he lives in Solana Beach, California, enjoying his hobbies of astronomy, fishing and fast sports cars.
