The New Iron Age Greg Currey

"In Herrob, a sturdy place to sleep, a hearty meal, and warm clothing was the goal, although no one expected to realize it." But Joan no longer lives on the streets of Herrob. She has a home in clean, safe, Eram. Every day she achieves what she thought was impossible. So why does she feel so dissatisfied? Joan's journey of fear and loss, renewal and love is a thorough exploration of Eram. The new civilization has risen to prosperity based on a new ideology: fascism. Joan has never heard of fascism, and is initially wary, but Eram's success causes her to come to appreciate the political system. Gradually, the events of "The New Iron Age" begin to convince Joan that fascism is the only way to prosperity--before she realizes how terrible life is for those left behind. As her displeasure with the system grows, she must decide if her personal and economic security in Eram is worth giving up her way of life, or if she has any other choice.
