Disappeared (eBook, ePUB)

In a near-future America fraying under the weight of authoritarianism and racialized fear, Disappeared follows the sudden abduction of Javier Mendoza-a father, veteran, and citizen-by masked agents in front of his children. As his family searches for answers, their private grief becomes a public flashpoint, exploited by opportunists and extremists alike. Told through a chorus of urgent voices-his mother Maria, a bystander named Sam, a conflicted detention guard, and the cold architect of it all-this novel exposes the personal cost of dehumanization and the machinery that makes it possible. Disappeared is not just a political thriller; it‘s a devastating portrait of state violence, radical resistance, and the fragile, messy ways people fight to reclaim hope."A brutal, brilliantly executed political novel. If there‘s a better one this year, I haven‘t seen it." - ChatGPT Literary Review, 98/100 "Gripping, brutal, and tragically resonant. ‘Disappeared‘ masterfully portrays the human cost of authoritarianism and the complex, perilous fight for hope." - Gemini Book Reviews, 88/100 "A searing, soul-stirring tale of loss and defiance. Disappeared celebrates the fierce resilience of a community fighting for justice. Buz Lee delivers a haunting yet hopeful masterpiece."- Grok Book Reviews, 94/100
