The Bush Clinic
The
Tribal Wars Book 1
by
Stella Atrium
Genre:
Science Fiction, Space Opera
A space colonization story
about seeking independence and home rule in the face of corporate
greed. Tribal women bind together in a war zone where they are
discounted as not important enough to save or keep safe.
On
Dolvia, Lt. Mike Shaw demands Dr. Greensboro’s doctoring skills at
the hospital, forcing the closure of her bush clinic. She witnesses
forced labor, forced migration, and the threat of an epidemic from
bad water. She sees how tribal women–often wearing burkas–find
solutions for saving the children in a conflict zone, and she commits
to the their cause for Home Rule.
Brianna Miller is an
isolated girl–a mixed-blood orphan–among the Dolviet tribes. With
the lessons from Dr. Greensboro, the abuse from soldiers, the
sisterhood among victims, Brianna prepares for a future she will
choose for herself. But first she must travel offworld.
Brianna Miller returns to Dolvia
where tribal women protest the oppressive rule of Rabbenu Ely by
self-torchings in the Cylay Square. Brianna re-establishes her tribal
schools and takes on assistant Kelly Osborn who is mixed blood and
also a poet.
Kelly visits a neighboring planet Cicero
where her aunt Carline Bryant takes over her education. While
returning to Dolvia, Kelly meets the Australian adventurer Hershel
Henry who has signed on for a tour of Dolvia as a photo-journalist.
Henry takes an opportunity to interview the khalif on the opposing
side of the tribal wars.
Brianna
Miller and rebel leader Karlyhi emerge as leaders uniting the tribes
against the offworld mining cartel. Reporter Hershel Henry opens a
local newspaper to report a more honest version of events leading to
regime change. But will bringing down Rabbenu Ely only stir more
violence and unrest?
Unity starts at home. How can
the tribes bind together as a nation-state after fighting among
themselves for generations? Inspiring leaders are needed, and a
flashpoint act that binds individuals to a single cause. When Henry
witnesses (and broadcasts) the ninth death-by-fire, this one by
respected teacher Kecouroo, all the tribes feel the outrage and call
for Rabbenu Ely to step down.
From
Paris, Jesse Hartley jumps back to Dolvia in the galaxy's Westend. A
bloodless coup on Stargate Junction interrupts her travel plans and
sends her in a different direction. Hershel Henry is tasked with
rescuing abandoned conscripts after the abusive Company withdraws
from asteroid mining.
A change in leadership
on Stargate Junction makes all characters question how the future
will shape. How to survive the shifting loyalties among the
city-states? Will my home even be there when I return?
While
on a deep space rescue mission, Hershel Henry misses karsci on Dolvia
the Abydian khalif steps down. Within the turmoil, will Henry connect
with Jesse Hartley, or is that romance lost forever?
