Description

In the year 2642, no one person is ethnically like the other. Globalization, war, and other catalysts have given birth to a diverse and multi-ethnic new world.

Not everyone feels this new society is ideal, though. A select group of seven colonies—a pureblood, white supremacist cult complete with arranged marriages and heavily guarded borders—have only had one mission: protect the bloodline from contamination and produce the next generation of survivors. But some young people, destined for a life without choices, make a run for it, including Cara, the granddaughter of Julius Bull, the colonies' leader.

Desperate to keep her dissidence quiet for fear of potentially inciting a power struggle within the colonies, Bull brings in Jimmy Matoo—a Special Investigator from San Francisco whose brother was found dead near one of the colonies the same night Cara disappeared. For Matoo, the visit to Corinth, Oregon, is eye-opening. He has never seen a white person before and is shocked by their ideas of imperialism, racial purity, and the prospect of arranged marriages in the 27th century. His investigation reveals that dozens of young colony members have gone missing over the years, and some have been found dead on the outskirts of Corinth.

With the clock ticking, San Francisco’s Detective Matoo’s missing persons investigation soon becomes a fight for survival—turns out the residents don’t like a brown fellow in their midst. Can he find Cara, figure out what happened to his brother, and save the leader's family from the Cabal before it’s too late? Maybe. But first, he must find out who in the colony has the means and connections to smuggle the dissidents out without being detected because it could be the difference between life and death.

In the year 2642, no one person is ethnically like the other. Globalization, war, and other catalysts have given birth to a diverse and multi-ethnic new world.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was very fast paced and easy to understand. The plot was also very interesting and unique. I wasn’t really sure of what to expect from this book except for a dystopian world but this offered so much more.

The characters in this book was amazing to read about. I loved the main character, Jimmy. He was very calm and level headed especially when dealing with certain individuals. The other characters in this book were very entertaining. It was interesting to hear their different opinions about the world they live in.

The plot in this book was amazing. I have never read anything like this before. I thought it was a book which highlighted racism and violence. These themes are triggering but are important to the book. Some part of this book were uncomfortable to read but this made the book feel very real to me.

I love how the author brought the book to life through both the characters and the book. I found this book to be a quick read for me and the events made the book fast paced. I did really enjoy this story, I am eager to know if this will be part of a series. There is so much potential at the end of the book to have more, which is a great sign!

I highly recommend this book to everyone, it was great!
