The Body Politic

Rich back stories for science fiction characters add depth to exploring today’s issues of resistance to oppression and the treatment of women… possibly an all-time genre classic. “The plot is full of twists and turns, and the writing style kept me engaged for hours without noticing the time. The narrative writing style is particularly engaging and draws a clear path through the story.” @ReedsyDiscovery

Brianna Miller returns to Dolvia where tribal women protest the oppressive rule of Rabbenu Ely by self-torchings in the Cylay Square. Brianna re-establishes her tribal schools and takes on assistant Kelly Osborn who is mixed blood and also a poet.

Kelly visits a neighboring planet Cicero where her aunt Carline Bryant takes over her education. While returning to Dolvia, Kelly meets the Australian adventurer Hershel Henry who has signed on for a tour of Dolvia as a photo-journalist. Henry takes an opportunity to interview the khalif on the opposing side of the tribal wars.
