About Richard Uprising
The Story
Defying dictators has consequences.
Cat Chaotic, Kendra, Robert, Trent and Swamp are in a dark place but desperately fighting to pick up the pieces after the horrific inferno of events that nearly shattered the band in Richard Uprising.
In this chilling follow-up dystopian thriller, the band members once again find themselves in the crosshairs of Annabelle Ramirez’s tyrannical regime, but this time she unleashes a ruthless plan designed to tear them apart from within. Unlikely allies emerge from the shadows and seemingly offer the band a lifeline out of the abyss, but in a world where betrayal lurks behind every promise, can they really afford to trust any outsiders? Can they even trust themselves?
With enemies closing in, the band members forge new alliances that test old friendships and fray the very fabric of their existence. Will the band somehow bring themselves back from the brink of collapse, or will Annabelle finish them once and for all? Join the band of rebels as they navigate a treacherous path where every choice could mean salvation or lead to their destruction.
Safe Spaces is the second chapter in Patrick Silken’s electrifying Richard Uprising series and picks up shortly after Book One.
This story is a must-read for fans of near-term dystopian fiction, high-stakes thrillers, and stories of courage against impossible odds in a fictional world that all too frighteningly resembles our own.
The Saga Continues
Chapter One
Alex took a deep drag from her pipe and blew the water vapor out into the frosty night air, where it blended seamlessly with the fog. The haze was thick enough that it muted the tiny red light on her vape pen, but the glowing streetlights pierced through the mist just enough to illuminate her target.
Colder weather than normal for late September in New York City. Perfect weather to hide in. Ideal conditions for hunting.
Alex smiled.
Strangely, she could hear the buzzing neon sign that blazed above the entrance. Brooklyn was never this quiet. She couldn’t recall ever having heard such a sound. Ambient street noise usually drowned out humming neon, but it was cold out and almost midnight.
Total surprise was vital.
Her hands froze from the chill in the air, making it hard to manipulate the vape pen, so she took her gloves off and endured the deadening sensation. The pain was worth it. The stimulants would wash through her lungs soon.
And then everything would be right with the world.
She shook her hand, trying to bring the feeling back to her fingers.
Why am I out in the cold while Martin is in a nice warm van?
What was she thinking?
