Girl of Stone
Expulsion Project
#2
Published: May 2, 2017
Publisher: Dunecadia Publishing
Genre: Science Fiction, Young Adult
Blurb:
Dark schemes. The ultimate betrayal. They can't afford to
lose.
Led by the dauntless Trattora, the four surviving members of
The Expulsion Project chart a treacherous course to their birth planet on a
stolen stealth fighter. Forced to divert their hazardous mission when their
ship comes under a brutal attack by Galactic pirates, The Four, as they are now
known, find themselves caught up in a desperate struggle for survival on
Razaran, a supposedly uninhabited planet filled with unimaginable terrors.
Blood must be sacrificed to make their escape, but whose blood will it be? Time
is running out for their birth parents trapped in the secretive NeuroOne
processing plant on Mhakerta where the psychotic Artificial Intelligence,
Preeminence, continues to extract the intellect of civilians, growing more
powerful with every passing day.
Can The Four topple the robot military and navigate the
treachery of those who would betray them before Preeminence destroys them?
Girl of Stone is the second novel in The Expulsion Project,
a sci-fi, dystopian thriller trilogy with a whisper of romance, a heavy dose of
adventure, and action galore. If you are a Firefly or Dark Matter fan, or still
in Hunger Games or Cinder withdrawal, this is the book mashup for you!

My Review:
Trattora, Velkan, Ayma and Phin have stolen a stealth
fighter and are on their way to rescue their parents on the planet of Mhakerta.
They are not in the air long before their ship is attacked and they have to
land on another planet for repairs on their ship but they find more on the
planet than they anticipated and getting away could get them into a whole lot
of trouble.
When they do finally reach the planet of Mhakerta they find
more there than they were anticipating there as well. They find out that their
parents are being held at the NeuroOne processing plant where Preeminence is
still extracting the intellect of civilians and without their permission. Trattora,
Velkan, Ayma and Phin must come up with a plan to get their parents and
everyone else out before it is too late. What the Preeminence is doing to all
those people is wrong in so many ways.
Trattora is a young girl with so much on her shoulder and a
lot of people counting on her. Trattora is always worrying if she is making the
right decisions. She has a great big heart and doesn’t want to hurt anyone or
put them in danger. But like everyone else she is learning along the way. But
she has some great friends and people that have her back and will stick with
her until the end.
I have loved following along with Trattora and her friends
on their journey to finding their parents. I really, really, really love the
world that Norma has built for Girl of Fire and Girl of Stone. I love the
spaceships/stealth fighters and flying through space going where no one has
gone before kind of thing and I can’t wait to read more of Trattora, Ayma,
Phin, Velken and follow them along on their new adventures.
If you love reading science fiction, dystopian books then
you are going to love Girl of Stone but I would suggest that you read Girl of
Fire first. Both are filled with so many twists and turns that will keep you on
the edge of your seat wanting more and when you pick up Girl of Stone plan on
being there awhile as you will not want to put it down.
