Stephen Bradovich--sculptor, widower, former pro ball player, sometime brawler. Why would this complexly human, anarchist protagonist receive a visit from two impassive, square-shouldered operatives with the alarmling news: \"You are under surveillance pending review, that's the message The Authority sends you\"? Praised for the compassion, humanism, and \"truth-seeking\" of his earlier novels, Herrick in \u003cem\u003eBradovich\u003c\/em\u003e steps beyond the \"lean and muscular prose\" of his terrorist trilogy (\u003cem\u003eShadows \u0026amp; Wolves\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLove \u0026amp; Terror\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKill Memory\u003c\/em\u003e) and beyond the working-class realism that won The Present Tense\/Joel H.
