The Kanshou
Sally Miller Gearhart
Drastic environmental changes on Little Blue have affected the gender balance in the human population. With women outnumbering men 12-to-1, the world’s peacekeeping force, The Kanshoubu, is now almost exclusively female. And the population of violent offenders or habitantes confined in global bailiwicks is primarily male. The first of this trilogy examines the nature of violence and peace, its dualism within the human heart regardless of gender, and the manner in which this relationship must be healed by both worldly and otherworldly influences in order to assure the survival of humans, animals, and the very planet itself.
The world of women warriors as Kanshou Femmedarmes, Vigilantes, and Amahs is exemplified in the personae of Steward-and-Magister Zella Terremoto Adverb and her former Kanshoumate and Lover, Jezebel Stronglaces. They prove opposites attract in a time when the fragile anchor of worldwide peace maintained by the Kanshou is threatened with the prospect of habitante rebellion against medical testing to determine a physiological cause of violence in humans. Possible political protocols that would mandate action regarding this physiology have the mostly male offenders in upheaval.
