“The Fifth of November” A Dystopian Future History Sci-Fi Thriller with author Glenn Hill

In the sprawling, neon-lit dystopia of San Neo City, the iron grip of Ion Murk’s United American Empire is unyielding. His greatest weapon, The Everlasting Pulse, controls everything—behavior, thought, and even memory. Resistance is futile, and freedom is a forgotten dream for most.

But for Violet and León, two young adults from very different backgrounds, surrender is not an option. Violet is a brilliant hacker haunted by the loss of her scientist parents, who vanished into the jaws of Ion Murk’s death machine. And León, an experienced street fighter, a former child of the elite sector of San Neo City who fell all the way to the poorest streets when his parents were dragged away one night.

This is the story of rebellion, sacrifice, and a fight against impossible odds.

As Murk’s empire grows, his sinister ambitions reach beyond Earth, ensnaring untold numbers in forced labor camps in the mines on Mars and transforming humanity itself into tools for his lust for eternal power and eternal life. Yet, in the darkened alleys of Sector Seven and the abandoned tunnels of San Neo City, a spark of defiance ignites. The rebels, a ragtag collective of hackers, fighters, and dreamers, refuse to bow to the tyrant’s rule.

The Fifth of November is a gripping tale of liberation and unity, where diverse voices rise to overthrow an empire built on fear. It is a tribute to the indomitable human spirit, weaving action, emotion, and resilience into a narrative that will stay with you long after the final page.

Women’s basketball: SOU wins handily in first round of national tournament

For the fourth year in a row, the Southern Oregon women’s basketball team is through to the second round of the NAIA National Tournament. In Friday night’s 86-52 first-round win over UC Merced at Lithia Motors Pavilion, the Raiders made it look routine. The task gets taller, literally and figuratively, in Saturday’s 5 p.m. second-round matchup against No. 7 seed Wayland Baptist (Texas).

Review: RTC’s ‘Doubt’ is surely thought-provoking

Brilliantly acted and staged at the intimate Richard L. Hay Center at the Grizzly Peak Winery, Rogue Theater Company’s production of “Doubt,” as director John Sipes writes of the play, “serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us to be wary of the narrowness of moral certainty and encouraging us to embrace the ambiguity and uncertainty we so often face.”
