The Power of Words
Summary
In the beginning, there was the word. Some religions state that the very universe was created by words. The nation of America was founded using words. Words established the rights and freedoms this nation enjoys. The first of those rights is freedom of speech, which implies so much more than the right to use words. This anthology contains four stories from four authors. Each story pays tribute to either the ideals held by America’s First Amendment or to the concept that the words people use hold power. These authors took the concept of words and placed it in futuristic, apocalyptic, and fantasy settings. TW Iain creates a world where citizens only seek to hear the words of others rather than consider their own. Richard T. Drake crafts a world where a leader must speak for the underprivileged masses who simply can not speak for themselves. Heidi Angell tells of a world where humanity itself is dying, and a man strives to preserve what he can in hope that any who survive will have something with which to remember the world that was. M.L.S. Weech brings to life a world where words were taken from society, and a mother plots to give those words back if only for her daughter to be able to speak. The word was the beginning, but it will never end.

Stealing Freedom
Summary
Ardelia Sabine is about to attempt the most legendary heist in the solar system. The anti-communication laws that have been ruthlessly enforced for the last five years have gone too far, and the collar around her daughter's neck, which shocks anyone if they try to speak, must come off. The one time monitor of law enforcement has now assembled the greatest collection of thieves, con men, and hit men in history. Together, she and her husband, once the greatest hacker on the planet, must take on a job that will surely get at least one of them killed. Survival is not the objective. The goal is to shut down the servers that operate the entire system. Can they get into one of the most guarded areas on the planet? Can they steal back their right to speak from the government that silenced it?
