"Author Gonçalo J. Nunes Dias continues to weave a fascinating dystopian tale with intriguing twists and turns that will easily captivate the reader’s attention from the beginning. The author paints a political dystopian fiction in a very vivid and convincing way. In addition, the characters are drawn with great credibility and conviction. It’s a fascinating story that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last.
I enjoyed the story, character development, and dialogue. There were plenty of plot twists that I didn’t see coming and that added to the book’s mystique. When I stopped reading to work, I found myself wondering what happened in the book, and replaying parts of the novel in my head to see if I could figure more out. It has been a while since I enjoyed a book this much. It’s a first-class dystopian thriller with perfect pacing. Not much is as it appears here, which is just the way fans of sci-fi, thrillers and suspense will want it.
The book description gives a sneak preview: ‘Matthias, a young man living far from his family, is fighting for survival after taking his first few steps away from the family farm into a society that has risen from the ashes… Sara is a young lady, who appears to be fleeing east to escape the claws of an oppressive society…Gustavo, after fifteen years in power, has decided that the time has come to find a successor. However, a surprise from the past may change his plans…The fates of Matthias, Sara and Gustavo are about to collide.’"
