“A gripping and intriguing story about finding acceptance and equality in a futuristic segregated world.”
—Sarah Jayne Harry, author of Taken

A government assassin's life is turned upside down when he meets and falls in love with a mysterious civilian. As their relationship grows, he begins to see the world from her point of view, causing him to question everything he has ever known and was taught to believe.

Kellyn Thompson’s The Unexpected Inlander is a character-driven story about discovering one’s own unconscious bias and learning to overcome it by seeing the world from another person’s perspective. Set in the backdrop of a dystopian future where genetic modifications are the norm and a totalitarian government distributes citizens based on their value to society, this thought-provoking science fiction tale addresses themes of government control, the ethics of genetic editing, and learning that change ultimately begins with changing personal worldview.

If you like character-driven science fiction that challenges the way you view society and culture, this book is for you.
