broken, the third and final installment of the silverthought trilogy by Paul Hughes, is the shattered, non-linear depiction of the author's struggle to make amends for the war-torn realities he has written into existence. Equal parts enemy and An End, broken merges the rich, horrifying universes of the previous installments of silverthought into one cohesive transgression. Readers of enemy and An End will recognize characters and places from those stories thrust into a new war within the author's collapsing mind. broken is part love letter, part handbook for the apocalypse, and part confession. The lines between good and evil, love and hate, and reality and dream blur to a hesitant gray. There are no easy answers to the recurring questions: Why Seattle? What internal mathematics, what broken calculus, defines the boundaries of our sanity? How can we so easily destroy that which we love the most? broken is an extended meditation on how the way we walk through life brings into existence countless universes of uncertain design and the silver latticework that binds us across pasts and futures. Speculative fiction, metafiction, transgressive fiction... broken is a fragile metanarrative that defies definition and encourages questioning.
