Chapter 23 and the closing epilogue of book one in the dystopian saga by American author, Kawika Miles. The final fight for Area Thirty-Eight is underway. With no army and no plan, Jax, Renn, Connor, and Dan face impossible odds. Even if they do succeed in taking the Thirty-Eighth Area in the North American Union, it will only be the beginning in the fight against the Nine. "No matter how hard one contests against abject deceits, with the Fabian strategy of constant, mundane pressure, propagandized distortions still weave themselves within the truth." "Closing her eyes, an idea is sparked in Ann's mind that miracles are not impossible events. If they were, nobody would talk about them. They only border fiction because unbelievers cannot accept perfectly timed events meeting individual needs--that the will of something greater looks after our interests whether we understand or accept it."

Mica and his team attend the first Gathering within Area Thirty-Eight, and in an effort to apprehend the Area Leader, betrayal begins to crumble the Division. "It’s the same pattern as any Marxist, socialist, communist movement. This isn’t simply a political ideology, but rather a world shaping, dynamic power and class shifting movement. Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, the National Socialist German Workers party, the Communist Party of Kampuchea in the Cambodian Civil War, Romania in the wake of World War II, Zimbabwe in the 1980s, and even the Democratic Socialists of the United States in the late 2010s and early 2020s, all were movements that hijacked political systems for fascistic power grabs. All were also abject failures, and it wasn’t until the Children of the Ordean Reich took their turn that this destructive world view worked on a global scale."

Chapter 20 of book one in the dystopian saga by American author, Kawika Miles. Jax awakens to a startling discovery, and while unconscious, the Encampment has taken a drastic turn and is more divided than ever. "This war is nothing more than a power struggle between extreme ends, the pendulum swinging from one radical to another... Radicalism is humanity's endless loop of self-correction." "He's seen it a hundred times within the PPA and has read about it countless more. Division creates confusion, and confusion primes the pump for a power vacuum, and it's here where opportunists graciously show their faces. If there is one thing Rhett is willing to bet whatever life he has left on, it's that Kai will try something before this all comes to an end."

Chapter 19 of book one in the dystopian saga by American author, Kawika Miles. The resistance to the Nine is underway with the Division now headquartered in Denver. While the unofficial story offered Carter and his team comfort, its guise to the truth has just endangered what remains of the United States. "It's the 'spirit of the law' they say.

Chapter 18 of book one in the dystopian saga by American author, Kawika Miles. With Rhett now apart of the Encampment, things turn for the worst as an unseen mole brings the wrath of Caspian down on the Raiders. "Reflecting on the day of his first kills, Rhett can't help but connect them to the night he reluctantly held Kip on stage, allowing for Caspian to brutally murder the man under false pretenses. He also can't help but advocate for the opportunity to better the future of humankind. Rhett understands the sacrifices that must be made in order to bring to pass a greater good. That's not where the conflict within him lies. It comes from the subjective nature of "good." For years his parents--the Nine-- have defined it as "collective progression of their country." That collective pursuit under their definition completely disregards what is good for any individual--what is needed for a singular citizen. Kip...the reason for his death was a necessary lie to help propagate The Government's narrative n their ambitions to create their perfect, unified society."

While Renn and Mari fight back at the Encampment, an unexpected ally comes to Jax's aid. "The masses squandered this knowledge! When the nation of the world had unlimited information at their fingertips. how did they use it? They indulged in lusts and insignificant content that had little to absolutely no value... They let the gift they were given rot. Instead of envisioning a brighter future, they died in front of their flickering screens, molding in their chairs rather than shaping the world in their hands."

"Two plus two will always equal four, no matter how much we want it to equal five or more...
