Pax Reborn

di Maggie Lynch (Autore)

Windtree Press, 2025

What would you sacrifice to live a peaceful, content life in a community of shared values? Never having to fight, no need for prisons or punishments, never having someone disagree violently. Is it even possible? It is in Concordia. The peace still held. Not that Tova didn't expect it. After the great war one hundred years ago, Concordia formed a colony with those who valued community and peaceful communication. It was all she knew. On the way to work, she loved hearing the greeting and response of "I'm content" among all the people. It was like pulling a warm blanket around you on a cold evening when the heater couldn't keep up. It reminded her that the community was one and, with each person glowing with contentment, nothing could harm them. As a new graduate psychologist, Tova learns the cost of keeping the peace when trying to help the "malies'—malcontents—recover from past trauma, and learn to express their feelings without anger or aggression. The work is not easy, but is definitely worthwhile. Each step puts her on the brink of becoming a malie if she's not careful. Will she be infected by the malies and rebel? Or will she find a way to preserve the peace for all? Concordia hangs in the balance.
