Description

In a chilling near-future, an oppressive regime known as The Boots seizes on the opportunity to round up communities of color, the disabled, and the LGBTQ+ into labour camps. A queer Black performer, Kay, joins forces with his allies in the resistance alongside Bahadur, a transmasculine refugee, and Firuzeh, a headstrong social worker. Guided by Beck, a rogue army officer, they plan an uprising at a major televised international event. With her signature prose, Catherine Hernandez creates a vision of the future that is both frightening and possible. This cautionary tale explores the universal desire to thrive, love, and be loved for being your true self. Set against the backdrop of devastating floods and rampant homelessness, Crosshairs is a powerful exploration of resistance, community, and the human spirit.
