Edge of Defiance (Edge of Collapse, #5)

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” ~Albert Camus

“That’s what faith means. To believe in something you can’t see, to trust when the way is difficult. To believe that even on the darkest night, the sun will rise.”

Before the collapse, corrupt and greedy politicians ruled us, taxed us to death, sucked the teat of America dry. No one could do anything about it. Not the little people, anyway. They taught us that voting could change things, fix things, but we’ve just been trading one charlatan for another, through every level of government.

The feathered outlines of the treetops melted into the black sky and disappeared until there was no horizon—it was all night, all sky, all blackness studded with incredible bright stars. The whole universe set ablaze by starlight.
