Marta Moran Bishop's The Between Times is a terrific allegory-until the sucker punch. You think you're reading a dystopian story set in some future time. Then you suddenly realize Bishop is writing about right now: The Between Times is a period in which we still have a chance save all we hold dear. Fail to marshal our collective powers, and we fail as a society, a culture, as a nation state, and the beacon to the world that America has always been is snuffed, never to be reignited. Penned with all the visceral indictments of Sinclair's The Jungle, we admire and pity Ben, fear for Jewell, grieve Roxanne, and loathe Mr. Horton and his kind. There is a cliffhanger ending that made me need to know more. Will the uprising in The Between Times save us? This series would make fascinating movies.Robert Blake Whitehill, Author/Screenwriter, The Ben Blackshaw Series Cover art Jade Lazlow
Marta Moran Bishop's Darkness Descends is powerful, gripping work! It's a compelling, sometimes scathing prequel to her first series title, The Between Times. Set in a dystopian city-state, Bishop indicts a patriarchal oligarchy that feeds a rape culture at the same time as it plots the overthrow of the rule of law with the anarchic rule of a well-managed mob psyche. The Roman people were given bread and circuses. The crowds in Darkness Descends are handed Rebecca, Jewell's mother, and a crucial charter character of the series, who faces public torture, humiliation, assault, and finally, auto-da-fé, burning at the stake, which she accepts as her fate as the ultimate sacrifice for a greater good. Bishop pulls no punches. The blows land all the harder when one realizes she is not working solely from imagination. She has incorporated into her literary tapestry the warp of today's culture, with the weft of actual history, including a chilling early Twentieth Century plot by brutal American financial moguls to overthrow the United States government. Who knew?! This book is devastating. I'm praying for an uplifting third installment to arrive in my Kindle soon, but given Bishop's dim view of humanity and history, I'm not holding out too much hope for a Pixar ending. Every win in Bishop's world comes at a great price, and the brilliant Darkness Descends is no exception. Of course, I absolutely can't wait to see what Bishop will come up with next!Robert Blake Whitehill, Author/Screenwriter - The Ben Blackshaw Series
