About This Book
Sense 8 meets the Hunger Games in this sexy, insightful, fast paced novel. "What makes this story most interesting, is the way the author is able to create characters who are not simply good or evil, but complex and multidimensional. It will make you stop and reconsider some of your long held beliefs." "Amman's background in biology brings unique detail and realism to the science in this science fiction. Her tremendous heart and honest voice create rich, empathetic characters who have inner turmoil and who transform. Combined with themes of understanding, of love and hate, Amman has created an urgent, relevant story." Once it becomes clear that Nala is Cursoi, she has no choice but to join the sacred supernatural military order vowed to protect the life of the President of the United Terrestrial Democracy. In her place, anyone would have rejoiced at the chance of a life of privilege and luxury, but there is nothing Nala wants less, even more so since Crash, the newly elected president, is a racist, hateful bigot. Will Nala manage to infiltrate the Capital Cursoi Unit and get to the president? Is the sacrifice of one acceptable in order to save the lives of many? It does not help that she falls quite hard for Drama, a fellow soldier and empath, who could discover her traitorous plans any minute. Nala will have to face her own demons to realize she might be not so different from the president she very much despises. It doesn’t help that Lethal, the executioner of the unit, a dark and gorgeous angel of death and Crash enthusiast, hates Nala’s guts. When fate forces Nala and Lethal to depend on each other for the sake of their own lives, and the president’s, things get more than messy. This uplifting, provocative sci-fi romance explores the difficult choices soldiers make every day, sacrificing their lives and opinions for their faith in democracy and the greater good. Funny, sexy, addictive, and fast-paced, this novel delves into the roots of anger and rage, fear, discrimination, self-acceptance and how the heck we might have ended up in the current political situation. Some explicit scenes.
