Stirring, gritty, connected and epic. A great read '
-Christian Cameron
The Road of Resistance is a provocative urban dystopia infused with cultural relevance and tantalizing action. The novel opens with radical pacifists eradicating all weapons manufactured after the 6th century. The US devolves into chaos, but rapper-turned-revolutionary, Chessed, has lived for this moment. With his loyal band of inner-city warriors, Chessed declares war against fascism and creates his own constitutional monarchy: the Vanguard. What follows is an exhilarating concoction of badassery and Blackness.
