Tygers
In a parallel 2015, Conservative forces are in control of national policy.
As a result, young gay men, pushed to the margins, must fight for equality and safety.
A bomb. A wedding.
A young man's first love, lost.
A book that explores consequences, radicalization, and how a terrorist might be the kid next door.
Tygers is the story of an alternate 2015 in which extremely conservative forces have taken control of American society. In that world, to be LGBTQ is to be treated horribly by family, by religion, and by the law. As a result, young gay people, pushed to the margins, must fight for equality and safety. In this world, a young teenager, just becoming aware of being gay, having found his first love, suffers a horrible loss. This loss makes him vulnerable to being radicalized by a group of young gay men who have had enough of the world as it is and are fighting back. But do the ends of such a fight justify the means

It took a while to read this. The subject matter was difficult to deal with, especially when comparing it to very real experiences of people in my life. I think that was part of the purpose, though. The writing is not a style that I typically enjoy but it had good pacing and was understandable. It's been weeks and I still find myself occasionally flashing back to moments in the book.
I'm pretty sure that I originally found this as a PDF titled Tygers of Wrath on a friend's flash drive. I didn't read it at the time, having found it in my dead friend's belongings as I cleaned out his room. I am just assuming that this is the same story because the author is the same and the titles are close enough.
I bought this novel because I recognized the author and title from that flash drive. I started reading it because I wondered why my friend had what I assume was a rough draft. I searched for clues between the lines. I didn't find any answers, but I did find a very good novel.
