Welcome to the not so distant future. Human beings have pushed Mother Earth to her breaking point—mass wildlife extinctions, global warming, widespread resource shortages, over population—and the Department of Homeland Security is offering stimulus packages to the children of American citizens who volunteer to be euthanized.
This short story about a chance encounter between two volunteers serves as a warning to a self-destructing human race. Voluntary is a tale of sacrifice, passion, and emotion between complete strangers who realize that time is of little importance to their feelings for each other in an inevitably dying world.
Voluntary edition by Aaron Powell Edward Wolfe Romance eBooks
Once again, Aaron Powell knocks one out of the park. It may be a small one, but a home-run of any other size is just as sweet. If you're a fan and were hoping for more of Patrick Mitchell, you might think you'll be disappointed when I tell you that Mitchell is not in the story, but you won't be.It's still the same great writing we've come to expect from this author, and it's also a refreshing surprise as Powell takes us to a future where the world has turned to s*** in just about every way possible, but something beautiful still blossoms while two people make the greatest sacrifice they can in order to give those they love the best chance at a better life, to whatever extent that may be possible.
I can't say much more without spoiling anything, so I'll just say that I really enjoyed reading this and as much as I love visiting Patrick Mitchell's universe, this was a very nice departure and it makes me wonder what we'll see next from Aaron Powell. Sometimes you read a good author for a while and then a book comes out that makes you aware that they've somehow elevated their skill a notch or two since their last novel. This is *that* book from Aaron Powell. I'm eagerly looking forward to what will come next.
Treat yourself to this bitter-sweet little gem of a story. It's well worth the small price, and it just may stir up some thoughts and feelings - and that's worth a buck or two in my book.

Voluntary edition by Aaron Powell Edward Wolfe Romance eBooks Reviews
Voluntary is a tale of sacrifice, passion, and emotion between complete strangers who realize that time is of little importance to their feelings for each other in an inevitably dying world.
I love this book because it's a short story and is excellently written and I can read it in a short period of time. I can't remember when I last read a short story that was so interesting. The action unfolds, usually sequentially, involving the reader in complications and suspense.
This book's diversity of work impressed me. The story delivered exceptional imagination and prose. I appreciate the work that went into writing this story. Aaron B. Powell never disappoints. I highly recommend this book to you.
Received this book directly from the author. It was such a sad outcome but at the end it was also some what happy. It was a tough decision that both these people made in order for there children to survive in a world that is close to ending. This book really does portray what might happen to us in the future. So many problems with the environment and so many people having longer lives. Will there be an epic disease like the black plague that most people will not be able to overcome. It was great that they both found each other even if it was for two hours before they ended up dyeing. Love is always there even when you are not looking for it. Thanks Arron for letting me review this powerful short story. Recommend this book to everyone.
I read this short story right before I went to work this morning, and I've been thinking about it all day. The story takes place in the future, in a world that's so overpopulated that the government had to set up suicide centers where people go to sacrifice their lives for the good of the planet. If you give up your life, your family will get perks such as a free college education or health care.
Voluntary is told from the perspective of a man who agrees to die so his son can have a better life. When he arrives at the suicide center, he meets a beautiful woman with whom he's able to spend his last moments on earth. This is a story that makes you stop and think about the state of the world, and how it's important to make every moment count.
I want to thank Aaron Powell for writing such meaningful stories. This is the third book of his that I've read, and I'm very impressed with his work. I'm looking forward to reading more of his books!
My first impression was, "Soylent Green," with the exception, the masses aren't feasting on the deceased green chips. The world's over-population has become critical. The Earth's resources are rapidly drying up. Many countries have already instituted mandatory selected elimination. The United States is still trying to show a sense of humanity by allowing families to decide their fate. Volunteer for the program and the State will guarantee your children will live, or at least, have a chance at a productive life. At least, that's the line their selling.
What would you do if you only had two hours left to live? Would you sit in the "mandatory theatre" waiting for the inevitable deep to sleep to overcome your senses? Or would you rendezvous one more time, dying with a smile on your lips and worrying not about the future?
Get a copy today and decide for yourself. I know my choice.
A great work for those who want a good quick entertaining read!
All right, you two or three people who actually read my reviews know that I don't do spoilers, and I lay out the straight poopy as I see it.
So, "Voluntary", by Aaron B. Powell. How do I lay out the skinny without pulling a jackmove via spoiler?
All right. This story brought to my mind "The Lottery". That scary as hell story by Shirley Jackson.
Now, this story seems to be about one kind of sacrifice, but my paranoid mind was spotting layers of sacrifice, government deceit, and the stink of corruption that comes with power and celebrity.
See, these two people meet in a seriously messed up situation. They are both being sacrificed to the long-term result of corruption, but, in a sublime moment of bone-deep truth, they have a taste of love.
True love, that kind of truth can tell the prettiest lies, but it can also cover a whole world of hurt, sorrow, and betrayal. That is what the two star-crossed lovers in this tale experience.
Powell gives us such an enormous world in such a short amount of time that it will leave you wondering if what happens is truly "Voluntary"!
I give this story a huge thumb's up, and I will also say that the sexy, steamy sex scene is not for younger readers. But I sure didn't mind it!
I look forward to more of Aaron B. Powell's writing because I like a little brain in my entertainment, and I love a good ride!
