​"Marta Moran Bishop’s Darkness Descends is powerful, gripping work! It’s a compelling, sometimes scathing prequel to her first series title, The Between Times. Set in a dystopian city-state, Bishop indicts a patriarchal oligarchy that feeds a rape culture at the same time as it plots the overthrow of the rule of law with the anarchic rule of a well-managed mob psyche. The Roman people were given bread and circuses. The crowds in Darkness Descends are handed Rebecca, Jewell’s mother, and a crucial charter character of the series, who faces public torture, humiliation, assault, and finally, auto-da-fé, burning at the stake, which she accepts as her fate as the ultimate sacrifice for a greater good. Bishop pulls no punches. The blows land all the harder when one realizes she is not working solely from imagination. She has incorporated into her literary tapestry the warp of today’s culture, with the weft of actual history, including a chilling early Twentieth Century plot by brutal American financial moguls to overthrow the United States government. Who knew?! This book is devastating. I’m praying for an uplifting third installment to arrive in my Kindle soon, but given Bishop’s dim view of humanity and history, I’m not holding out too much hope for a Pixar ending. Every win in Bishop’s world comes at a great price, and the brilliant Darkness Descends is no exception. Of course, I absolutely can’t wait to see what Bishop will come up with next!" (Robert Blake Whitehill, author/screenwriter, the Ben Blackshaw series)

"Darkness Descends": Addressing a frightening possibility.
This book will get you reassessing your views of a future society. In so many ways the events which are being written about have their roots in America's past. Although we may not have visibly noticed it, the treatment of women and the division between those who are wealthy and the poor exist on a lesser level in today's society. There are people in our country today who continue in their attempts to accelerate these divisions. By attempts to restrict a woman's right to make reproductive choices is just one example. This book is Ms. Moran Bishops second in a series and offers insight into a world we may all come to know. Evident by the political climate today makes this book a must read. In many respects, we are headed in that direction. "Darkness Descends" is mesmerizing and thoughtful and tells a frightening story of possibilities. I urge everyone to read this book and think of a future most of us find frightening but possible.
