Surviving on pep pills and connected to work via a digital implant in his body, he is haunted by the tragic loss of his family and cannot afford to care for anyone, least of all a woman who is keeping secrets from him.Shavir fights for the disenfranchised and discarded as a member of Roots, a community farm in Brooklyn whose members risk charges of ecoterrorism for their nocturnal animal liberation raids in the city's permanent evacuation zones. The last thing Shavir needs in her life is an overworked, traumatized Homeland guy, but when she takes Jake across the East River to the communities he was ordered to ignore, they both start to question the fragile truths they build their lives upon.A gripping speculative thriller, a thought-provoking look into our precarious future, and an unflinching examination of our deep need for love and connection in times of social and environmental upheaval, Fragile is perfect for fans of Emily St. John Mandel and Alison Stine.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
