    When a group of young Native Americans launches a series of protests against climate change and its effects on the waters and woods of Maine, veteran FBI agent Ryan Tapia is assigned to monitor the movement. The protestors, who become determined to split away from American society, are led by "Peeled Paul" Soco, a Malpense hermit who played a key role in one of Tapia's previous investigations. When the marchers begin making camps on the lawns of luxurious summer mansions along the Maine coast, they win national media attention—and the wrath of a reactionary president. 
     
     
     
    Tapia soon finds himself torn. He wants to do right by Soco and the protestors, but his bosses at the Bureau are eager to please the president. Growing increasingly sympathetic to the protestors and their cause, he tells them about a possible refuge—a secret CIA base hidden away in the depths of the Maine woods. Enraged, the White House sends a US Army unit to track down the protestors on their stealth march through the evergreen forests. Meanwhile, Tapia's bosses, vexed and embarrassed, fire him and threaten arrest. Undaunted, Tapia snowmobiles through the wilderness on a wintry night to warn the Indian protestors of the impending attack. Building to a dizzying climax, We Can't Save You establishes Ryan Tapia as one of the most compelling and nuanced investigators in crime fiction.

    What happens when freedom is just a brand—and democracy a memory? 
    Authoritarianism by Design is a searing and timely historical fiction novel that exposes the engineered erosion of democracy in modern-day America. Through the lives of Black, Latino, Asian, and White citizens—students, veterans, immigrants, mothers, and resistance leaders—author Michael J. Henderson weaves a powerful narrative that explores systemic oppression, political corruption, and the fight for justice in a society that was never designed to be equal. 
    From backroom deals to constitutional crises, from the silencing of dissent to the rewriting of truth, this novel lays bare the mechanics of power: how laws are weaponized, fear is marketed, and freedom is sold to the highest bidder. At the heart of the story is a resistance—a coalition of ordinary people who refuse to be erased, choosing instead to rise, resist, and reclaim their voices. 
    Both hauntingly prophetic and unapologetically raw, this is more than fiction—it’s a call to action. 
    Perfect for readers who appreciate: 
    Political fiction with real-world relevance 
    Narratives about race, power, and activism 
    Social justice storytelling with emotional depth 
    The courage of everyday heroes and marginalized voices

    A writer in the Expressionist style his poems and stories are short but beautifully honed works.  His tragically curtailed life allowed only a small part of his talents to rest with us.  Undoubtedly a full life would have given the world a very gifted literary force. 
     
    Alfred Lichenstein volunteered for duty in the German Army for World War I.  He died on the front at the Somme in the early months of combat on the 25th September 1914.  He was 25
