This novel is a bit longer than usual, 527 pages, but it seems to go quicker than most I have read lately. Today we start off with the second novel from David Alderman in the Black Earth Series, The Broken Daisy. Hello and welcome to another Self-Published Sunday. In the midst of the darkness, those still alive are forced to fight against Legion's malevolence or lose their humanity beneath it. Surrounded by suspicion and doubt, Nathan struggles to stay one step ahead of the world that's against him, and keep tabs on Cynthia, who may or may not end up selling him out in the end. But Cynthia's mother, Theresa, is the one who betrayed Nathan and Daisy. With a bounty on his head, Nathan finds an unexpected ally in Cynthia Ruin, who agrees to help him save his sister, Daisy, from being executed for treason. Nathan Pierce is on the run for forging the president's mandatory barcode tattoo. Now Legion is enveloping the world in darkness, disintegrating almost everything in its path and leaving nothing to stand in its way of the planet's destruction. It is a message left by Legion, an otherworldly entity that traveled to Earth in the fallen stars. "From dust you came, to ash you go." - These terrifying words are found spray-painted on an office wall in Tucson. The stars have fallen, and the world is tilting into darkness.
