"In a future America ravaged by natural disaster, pandemic, and political unrest, a fundamentalist faction emerges. As the Novae Terrae gain power, enticing civilians with bread and circuses, a civil war breaks out between its members and the US government. Mazzy Goodwin, a young soldier, only wants to find her little sister, Ava Lynn. One day, she wakes in a bomb crater to find wings emerged from her back. Has she died? Been gifted wings by God? Undergone a military experiment? The world sees a miracle. Mazzy is coaxed into seeing it as an opportunity: to become the angel-like figurehead of the revolution, in return for being reunited with her sister. Her journey leads her to New Los Angeles, where the Novae have set up the headquarters for their propaganda machine--right in the ruins of Hollywood. Aided by friends old and new, she must navigate a web of deceit while staying true to herself"--

VOLT d'Alan Heathcock plonge dans les coins les plus sombres de l'expérience humaine, mais toujours avec une grâce qui apporte la lumière disponible. Ses histoires de la ville fictive de Krafton explorent les thèmes de la civilisation et de la nature sauvage, de l'application de la loi et de l'illégalité, de la foi et de l'infidélité. Heathcock capture magistralement comment les individus naviguent les tragédies et s'efforcent d'atteindre l'équilibre. Son langage est sobre mais généreux et riche, attirant les lecteurs dans un monde dur mais beau qu'ils n'oublieront pas de sitôt.
