I don’t read a ton of sci fi but I do enjoy a good dystopian novel and this latest novel by John Marrs sounds like it strikes the perfect balance between dystopian and sci fi that will appeal to a wide audience! This one even has a bit of government conspiracy which is one of the reasons why it caught my eye!
Marrs has written a number of thrillers that have been widely praised but this appears to be his first dystopian/sci fi novel and I am so excited to check it out. It sounds like it’s also going to have some thriller elements so this one looks like it’s going to have broad appeal for audiences. This one boasts a lot of action and suspense which, in my mind, means it will read quick.
If you are looking for a new thriller with a heavy mix of sci fi and dystopian lit then you are going to want to get this one on your radar. Marrs has a large fan base and his thrillers have been widely praised by fans. This one in-particular has already received a lot of hight praise too! While I cannot fit this one on my review schedule for this month, I plan on reading it very soon in the future. It’s out now so if this one sounds appealing to you, then you should grab yourself a copy now!
