Jafarr had no idea his father had been the leader of the rebellion until he escaped into it himself. Though understanding, the remaining rebellion leaders are not exactly sure what to do with their former leader's genius son as he is not just an asset, but also a liability.
While trying to keep his head down as he dealt with the daily grind of an undercity born teenager, Jafarr Zeldar ends up on a field trip to the Surface Patrol with his classmates. An enticing offer is extended to him--but as a Zeldar, his future is already decided.
Solutions: The Dilemma for Men is the fifth story in a series of seven that explores one's relationship with self, others, and ultimately with our Lord God. The story picks up where The Dilemma for the Gods leaves off. Long after the emergence of the children into the Good World, the children had lived in relative peace and safety. But suddenly grumblings began. Comfort was taken away by decisions of the Central Council. The Council instilled fear into all. Men and women once again were led away from God and forced to heed only to the Council's decisions. But for Louis, acceptance of the change was not taken lightly. Tired of the grumblings, wanting a break from the struggle, he looks to a path leading away from the guarded perimeter of the Village he lives and works at and suddenly the spirit of adventure overcomes him. Wondering where the road leads to, he talks his way past security and with nothing holding him back starts travelling down the road. But where that path takes him and what is experienced along the way will be a test of his faith, and maybe the end of it.
If this is the way things are supposed to be, then why does Noelle feel so restless? Living on the island, raised with the knowledge that there is nothing else out there, Noelle doesn't even recognize the oppression she is forced to endure. Will she ever see the truth when all around her are so blind?
All Tabatha wants to do is to escape Northridge, to escape the violence and the crime. But as a new power seizes the country, the nation is plunged into dictatorship and terror, and Tabatha's dream to escape may only ever be a dream. Freedom is forbidden and opinions carefully censored, until she is approached by the Golden Thorns. A group of teens set on doing what the adults aren't able to do. Resist. And they are prepared to, no matter what the cost.
Megan is a good Mormon girl who does what her parents tell her... most of the time. After all, she'll have you know that she's an Individual, not like the other Mormon girls. Just listen to her thoughts for a while - you'll see.
1930 Munich, Germany. Two Lovers. Different Worlds. A Crumbling Country.
