Edge of Defiance (Edge of Collapse, #5)

by Kyla Stone

“Safety is what they promised. Safety is what they’re giving us. Milo has to be safe! You need to be safe!” “Safe isn’t everything. You can’t have it all. That’s not how life works! There’s no such thing as absolute safety. None. Anyone who promises you that is a snake oil salesman, or worse.”

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.
