The future is bleak. Authority controls everything from weapons and food to music and pets. What animals aren't extinct are highly regulated and targeted for confiscation. Annie Birchfield is a tough seventeen-year-old fighting for what's hers. After a deadly run-in with Authority, she and her older brother, Cody, must take their beloved but contraband horses off-Earth to save their lives. Barely a step ahead of the law, Annie discovers that her God-given talents may provide the funds for their journey and inspire an army to fight the oppression. Their rebellious escape not only exposes Authority's overreach but ignites a galaxy-wide uprising. Shooting Stars Traveling Circus is inspired by the performances and quotes of Annie Oakley, as well as several performances in Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Shows.
