Who is your favorite villan in other author's books?
A good villain can spice up a story more than a sympathetic hero. Literature includes so many outstanding ones. In Robert Graves’s “I Claudius,” the semi-fictionalized portrayal of Livia stands above the others for her cunning and intrigue. For the banality of evil and the cold-blooded use of others, Iago (Othello by Shakespeare) and Commander Waterford (The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood) stand out. For self-righteousness, Conner Brooks’ rationalizations of his actions drive the story forward in “Ill Wind” by Kevin J. Anderson and Doug Beason.
Of course, these top my list in my mindset at this moment. Catch me again in a month or when I’m in a different mood, and I’m likely to give you a different list.

The contest ends on Feb 6, so please, if you enjoyed Silent Consent, I hope you will take this chance to read the sequel with a free book!

This story runs parallel to the events of Silent Consent, unfolding in the early days of the Energy Crimes Unit. Where the first book focuses on Central and Homeland 7, this one takes place in District 5 and a Centurion camp along the Western border and follows a young woman who suffers because of a familial demotion that relates her to the status of the Nameless. It delves deeper into the lives of the public No-names in the founder states and the strength it takes for her to survive.
While some founding members of Central’s Energy Crimes Unit appear, the spotlight focuses on the struggle of a new protagonist, Tissi, who must survive under the control of a Harrie-hating base commander with the aid of allies, not all of whom see the No-names as human.
