Today’s topic: May I share something about someone else.
Last night, I had the privilege to read this.
Suffocate is the first novelette in THE BREATHLESS series. It is a 15,000 word young adult thriller that combines the dystopic and science fiction genres.
Here’s a little about the novelette…
“For centuries, the world outside the Biome has been unlivable. Today, marks the first time anyone will attempt to leave the suffocating ecosphere. Eria is not worried because her scientist father has successfully tested the new Bio-Suit many times. It’s a celebratory day until something goes horribly wrong. In the midst of tragedy, Eria uncovers a deep conspiracy that affects the very air she breathes.
If those responsible find out what she knows, they won’t stop hunting her until she takes her last breath”
This blew me away. From the first page until the very last the suspense built and built, and just when you think you know everything, you realize you know nothing. It’s a perfect blend of dystopia and SF with great worldbuilding and description. I noticed one or two typos but nothing that stopped me from reading. The only complaint I have is that it ended.
The 2nd novella in the series, CHOKE, is scheduled for Fall 2012. The 3rd, EXHALE, is scheduled for Winter 2013.
