About this ebook

A heart-pumping futuristic thrill-ride set in a frightening dystopian society. 2016 Once Upon A Book Award Winner. 

It is the year 4006, and nuclear war has come to the United States.  With tens of thousands killed and countless more injured or terminally ill from the blasts, there is no more “normal”…life will never be the same.  For her part, Blythe Sol is reeling from the loss of her arm and an eye in one of the blasts – her dreams of following in her father’s footsteps and joining the military completely shattered.  When she hears about the Restoration Project – a bionic government program that offers the sick and injured a second chance – she immediately enrolls. 

Made whole again, Blythe is filled with hope and a renewed sense of purpose.  But when it becomes apparent that those outfitted with the robotic parts now possess super-human abilities, fear spreads across the nation. The Bionics are forced to go into hiding, outcast from all society.   In desperation, they band together to form an underground rebellion, and Blythe finds herself caught in a confusing tug-of-war between two of her fellow soldiers—Gage Bronson, the mysterious new addition to the Resistance, and Dax Janner, her best friend. But with war on the horizon and a death sentence hanging over her, Blythe hardly has time to worry about her feelings…

Ratings and reviews

It's set way too far in the future (no way the tech would match this timeline neither would the political setting). There are also some consistency issues, like a second hovercraft just being forgotten about... Other than that, the story is good (just imagining it to be like 2030-2040 instead of 4010)

Just when you think you have seen prejudice at it's worse, this book takes it to a new, scary, and unbelievable level. But there is a redeeming theme here. This book brings some much needed hope. Well done!

Even for a sci-fi allowed imaginary reality, this story is not making any sensible connections. This thing reads like it is written by a teenager, not just for one !! The only reason it gets the third star is because I liked the realistic possibility of the story line. Definietly NOT getting the rest of the books.b
