Book Description:
When technology fulfills every dream, reality becomes a nightmare.
When technology fulfills every dream, reality becomes a nightmare.
Below the streets of New State,
the undergrounders fight to remain free of the technological control of the
world above. Every night, Yara risks her life fighting New State’s deadliest
weapons, the drones. Half human and half machine, their living half tortured
until everything human is gone, the drones have only one objective. Kill. And
they do it with exacting precision.
Yara is good at her job and
committed to her raids on New State. Until one of those raids brings her
face-to-face with Joshua, a New State citizen who doesn’t quite fit her
preconceived expectations. After a couple of awkward encounters, he shows her
the meaning of hooking up—a computer simulation that allows people to live out
their fantasies—without the complication of emotional entanglements or physical
reality. But what Yara feels for Joshua is very real. And it’s punishable by
law.
As she and Joshua grow closer,
she convinces him to leave New State for her underground cause. But as the
unrest between New State and the underground escalates, and the drones move in
to destroy her world, nothing goes as planned. Families are arrested, loyalties
are strained, and Yara’s forced to choose between her people and her feelings.
The wrong choice could mean the end of her people, and reality could slip
away—forever...
