  1. Afghanistan never had one central government that worked. Tribes ruled their valleys for centuries. Outsiders who ignore this truth always lose. Always have. Always will.

  3. How do you Rebuild when Everything is Gone?

    The First Knight Shaman begins in the immediate aftermath of the Great Quake of 2040. But this story is about the work of cultural reconstruction. The Elk Creek Tribe is trying to translate a founder’s ideals into daily life under constant pressure. That tension — between aspiration and survival — drives much of the novel's emotional thrust.

    The presence of Rodney, a young man who can interact with the recently departed, literalizes that struggle. Spirits are not only callbacks to the past; they influence choices in the present. Through this device, the novel asks: who owns the past, and who gets to interpret it for the future?

    The Elk Creek Tribe probes meritocracy versus heredity. The founder, Justin Earl Knight, casts a long shadow, and Rodney’s status as an unacknowledged son complicates every question of lineage, authority, and legitimacy. Does blood, charisma, ritual power, or the slow accumulation of earned trust make a leader?

    War in The First Knight Shaman is raw and pragmatic. Attacks over water, shelter, and ecological niches force characters into ethical compromises. But violence also becomes a measuring stick for communal values: do you become what you fight, or can you rebuild something different from the ashes? The story refuses tidy answers, instead offering the messy reality of people navigating impossible choices.
    While set in 2042, the book resonates with current anxieties about climate, governance, and fractured societies.

    Ultimately, this is about what it takes to stitch a society back together: memory, leadership, courage, and the willingness to face ghosts — literal and figurative — to imagine a future that honors what was lost while building something new.

    Jeremy Lent: Ecocivilization

    "Lent’s goal is to synthesize dozens of proven and promising genres of existing projects and real-world activism. Some of these are daring and paradigm-breaking. Others operate well within the dominant market/state system but offer credible possibilities for post-capitalist transitions."

    – David Bollier, host of the podcast 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨
