Synopsis:
The year is 2575 and two mega-corporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice covered speck. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them Ezra and Kady have to make their escape on the evacuating fleet. But their troubles are just beginning. A deadly plague has broken out on one of the space ships and it is mutating with terrifying results. Their ships protection is seriously flawed. No one will say what is going on.
As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth its clear only one person can help her. Ezra. And the only problem with that is they split up before all this trouble started and she isn’t supposed to be talking to him.
Science Fiction isn't as much my genre as fantasy but this book had good reviews so I decided to give it a go. I went into it not sure exactly what to expect but came out loving it. The whole concept of this books is unique and fun and I found it to be an enjoyable read.
Despite the narrative being told through transcripts of interviews, chat messages, reports etc you still get to know the characters well and care about the outcome for them. I am already anticipating reading the sequel.
I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.
