Advance Praise

"A clever blend of realistically presented future concepts, rebellious characters and heart-racing action. If you enjoy fast-paced sci fi with fascinating technology details, this book is for you." –Los Angeles Book Review

"Clever world-building, plenty of tension and balances its characters on a knife edge...fans of dystopian science fiction will definitely enjoy this" –LoveReading (Indie Books We Love)
"Fast-paced, action-packed and authentic...never a dull moment." –Readers' Favorite (5/5)
"Price is redefining sci-fi. Gone are the days of cardboard characters, artifice and an overemphasis on technology. What we get instead is a dissection of the human condition in a reality that is twisted just far enough to serve the story. Playful, exhausting and crafty, all at once." –Ben Scharf, Andere Filme
