Easy Say They — R.B. Banfield

There are only four cities left, and they are mighty. One is North, one is South, one is West, but the one that is East is called Easy. There the population is divided and placed into three sectors and controlled, but some keep slipping through the cracks. City President Merb Irfing has an unusual plan for better control. Guard Degan Blonn has no plan at all, and is happy with that. Jedda Danfol's plan is to collect junk off the streets, but no one knows why. Warlord Grel Skace builds his army and plans to take back streets. In this gripping novel, the lives of silent revolutionaries connect in ways they didn't plan or foresee, as they fight for their freedom against a society too corrupt to see that it is collapsing.
