Brave Survivors are Superhumans - Steven Asovsky

In this collection of sixteen short stories, everyday people become brave survivors as the world as they know it is ripped apart and they endure landscapes destroyed by colonial conquest, faulty technology, climate change, and natural disasters to save others and themselves. \n \nThe Moon Eclipse \nKevin wakes in toxic L.A. smog and witnesses the rippling effect of a bizarre moon eclipse. Without money, food, or water, he must barter with a hotelier for refuge. \n \nThe Curse of Notre Dame \nLuc, a Parisian priest, wanders through what was once the City of Love as it finally collapses under the weight of a disparate society and looters destroy historic monuments. \n \nThe Destruction of Nagasaki \nKenji is kidnapped during English invasion and trains as a samurai to free himself and liberate his country. \n \nThe Criminal and the Lion \nIt's 9AD and Rome needs an emperor to put an end to corruption, but when Marcus murders his brother for the title and claims his wife, Ornella, only she can stop the tyrant. \n \nSurviving Unimagined Dystopias \nTwo high school classmates survive a supernatural disaster in their otherwise boring hometown and flee to the woods before they realize they are being hunted and will need to fight back to survive. \n \nFull of fast-paced action, destruction, survival scenarios, and hopeless circumstances, Brave Survivors are Superhumans offers an onslaught of dystopian despair alongside the remarkable resilience of humanity and a glimpse of hope.
