#1 – Strong to Save
A FEMINIST POLITICAL ACTION THRILLER
"The characters are all three dimensional and sympathetic." -Sensual Romance Review.
Now Susanna Valent’s talent and daring take her to a whole new level in the classic Amazons Quartet, a four-volume saga of Sapphic passion and resistance in the face of a new male-dominated future tyranny. Written in 2003, this all too prophetic novel is more timely today, when its prognostications seem to be coming truer every day, than ever before.
In Book 1, "Strong to Save: A Tale of Forbidden Love," the U.S. is being turned upside down by a government taken over by extreme right wing elements and and religious fundamentalists. Under their rule congress passes all kinds of repressive racist, xenophobic, sexist and homophobic laws. The Bill of Rights ceases to exist for the disadvantaged portions of the population.
Along with every other woman in the country, charismatic, dynamic Coast Guard Captain Kris Nordstrom, a lesbian, she is given the heart-breaking choice of being fired or resigning! At the same time, Kris is still haunted by tragic loss of her first and only serious lover. Meanwhile, her closest friend, Andrea Santiago, another career woman forced from the Coast Guard, is secretly in love with Kris and is plotting a way the two of them can escape to the West Coast, which is the least restrictive location in the US and still safe for women, people of color, lgbt people and other minorities.
As the U.S. boarders are sealed, will Kris and Andrea be able to escape, or will they end up in prison? Will Kris find a way to help her young, lesbian niece, and should she interfere? In future volumes of The Amazons Quartet, Kris finds two lovers, and together they will gather many more women who can’t tolerate the new fundamentalist dominated U.S., and instead, they will try to create a culture at sea where they and their children will be free to live their lives without fear of oppression and violence.
#2 – Bound the Restless Wave
The Queer "Left Behind Continues"–The suspense mounts in the second volume of this acclaimed new series by the bestselling author of The Queen’s Slave Woman series. In Book 1, Strong to Save, we met the dynamic Naval officer Kris Nordstrom, forced to resign when Christian and Muslim fundamentalists join forces to capture the White House and make their anti-woman anti-queer agenda law. While Kris vacations with her sister’s family and learned her teenaged niece is also a lesbian, Kris’ friend, Andrea Santiago, secretly in love with her, plots a way to escape to the still liberal West Coast and take Kris along, hoping propinquity will lead to passion. In Bound the Restless Wave, the two women finally set sail together to California and become lovers. They meet Nicole Gervais and become a triad. Soon the three are making plans and joining forces with other women, determined to make a new life outside the U.S. None of then know that it is a decision that will land Kris and Andrea in deadly danger and lead to hairs-breath escapes, car chased, helicopter rescues, and intense shootouts. Meanwhile, Kris’ nieces, Danielle and Carole, are forced to pretend to believe in the new fundamentalism, while trying desperately to find a way out of the clutches of their cult-like church and easily-led parents. A Queer counterpart to the Left Behind series, this is a series no liberal should miss.
#3 – Appointed Limits Keep
The Sapphic "Left Behind" Grows More Intense! It is the very near future. Fundamentalist among all U.S. religions have combined to vote racists, homophobes, and women-haters into government. Soon women see abortions outlawed, themselves driven out of the office place and legislated back into kitchens. For queers, Blacks, and Latinos, the situation is even more perilous, with gay-bashings and lynching back in style. Those who can have trekked west to California, the lone liberal holdout. Among them, former Naval officer Kris Nordstrom, who has been forced to resign her commission by the new government, her lover Andrea, Kris’s sister, Susanne, and her lesbian niece, Alix. In volume III of this epic quartet of novels, the foursome have sailed to San Francisco, where they become certain they are being shadowed by private detectives hired by Susanne’s estranged husband and Alix ‘s father, who has joined the fundamentalists and wants "his women" back under "his control." As Kris and Andrea work to establish a network of helping agencies who will assist women and others on the run, in Dayton, Alix’s friends Danielle and Carole find out that their parents have signed them up for matrimony camp to indoctrinate them with the idea of growing up to become obedient, nurturing wives and mothers and of being forcibly married within the year. The connections between these various groups of women and girls are strengthened as they begin to share their concerns and experiences via the internet. But as California is increasingly pressured to fall in line with the rest of the U.S., Kris and Andrea realize that their only hope of survival is to take their friends and family aboard their ship and seekhaven elsewhere. If they can escape before California succumbs to the fundamentalists and before Susanna’s husband can swoop down to kidnap her and Alix back to life as virtual slaves in Ohio.
#4 – Peril on the Sea
The Queer Left Behind Concludes! Fundamentalists and conservatives of all stripes have joined to turn the United States into the New Republican Nation in the very near future. Having voted themselves into power, they proceed to pass restrictive and repressive legislation so that soon the situation in the NRN parallels that of Afghanistan under the Taliban. Women have once again been barred from the work force and government schooling brainwashes girls to expect to grow up to be wives and mothers. Lesbian Coast Guard captain, Kris Nordstrom, escapes to California aboard her cruiser, where, with her two like-minded lovers, Andrea Santiago, a marine engineer, and Nicole Gervais, an astronomer, she gathers together many other women who can’t tolerate the oppression of the New Republican Nation. Now, with the NRN putting pressure on California, Kris and her friends have found a ship big enough to get them all away to Europe and freedom. But things are crumbling faster than they realize, and with the obstacles in their way, they may not be able to flee before the NRN places an embargo on all out going ships, trapping them under its control for ever. Love, lust, politics, helicopter rescues and a shootout highlight the concluding volume of this extraordinary quartet of prophetic novels
