An absorbing human struggle against the backdrop of a society consumed by its worst vices.

Music educator Adam Cole presents A Thousand Points of Darkness, a novel set in a dystopic version of America - a nation where the government has officially become the Corporate United States of America, driven entirely by and solely for profit. Commercials are the only form of entertainment; drugs are a sanctioned form of worship; Spanish is the predominant language; and anyone without a job is seen as an obstacle to society itself. When Rosa's mother loses her job, her family must make the perilous trek across the Unincorporated States to reach Washington DC and pursue a new life. Yet the trail from Atlanta is hostile, populated by isolated White communities who have disconnected themselves from the urban metropolises, ready to shed blood to preserve their sovereignty. Others join Rosa and her mother on their journey: a Chinese family fallen on hard times, a musician who values his guitar too highly to play it; and an odd drug-worshipper. An absorbing human struggle against the backdrop of a society consumed by its worst vices.
