Review of Dystopian Dreams:
Four Stories from The Last Book Café on Earth
Dystopian Dreams is made up of four great and interesting
stories. All four of the stories were so cool and amazingly well written. Each
story introduces you into new worlds, new worlds that I would love to know more
about as well as the characters. Each story is unique in its own way.
I recommend all four stories to dystopian and or science
fiction fans. One click your copy today!
Review of The Machinist Daughter by Alison Ingleby
Rae Barnes Lives in a divided world. In one part there are
the Insiders and on the other side are the Outsiders. The insiders are the
upper class who has everything and the ones who sort of rule over the Outsiders
who have to work hard so they don’t live on the streets.
Rae loses her job by letting her temper get the best of her.
Her father loses his job after injuring his hands in an accident at work. With
both of them out of work they will probably end up living on the street. Rae
comes up with a plan to save her family but if she is caught it will be very
dangerous for her.
Sneak Peek
So that’s what the
collars do.
I shiver and turn away, not wanting to see any more. The
thought that someone – something – could take control of a person like that
sends an icy chill running through me. I know why the man was trying to get
Inside. Like so many Outsiders, he was desperate for work. By the look of him,
and hunger sends you crazy after a while.
Review of The Gender Guardian by Claire Littlemore
A young girl is running away from her home. She finds a
cabin in the woods and decides to stay in the cabin over night and leave the
next morning before the owners come back but she sleeps longer than she
planned. She awakens staring into a pair of blue eyes. She is staring into the
eyes of a male. She has been taught all her life that males are mean and very
dangerous. Males is the one of the reasons she fled her home in the first
place.
Sneak Peek
She can never stop running.
One hand massages her stomach, attempting to alleviate the
pain of the stitch that creases her over, yet she stumbles on. Ahead, buried in
the depths of the trees, is some kind of building. A little run down, but with
four walls and a roof. enough to provide shelter from the elements. It’s been
almost two days since she slept. Surely she can risk a short stop?
Review of Feral by Tracy Korn
Imagine living in a world where you have to pay all medical
bills with your life. A man is working one night when he is in an accident that
leaves him with lots of medical bills. This young man learns from experience
what it truly means to pay with your life.
Sneak Peek
“Oh, that’s right!” Pritchard fired back. “You get that
med-school application in?”
I sighed. “Don’t even start, OK?”
“I knew it! How many tries is that?” Pritchard turned the
crank inside the loading rig, aligning the guide light over the crates. “I keep
telling you, man, they don’t want Grind medics in The Citadel. Education is for
the educated?”
Review of Vessels by Alanah Andrews
A world where humans travel from place to place by having
their soul transferred to a machine or an AI known as a vessel. One man uses a
vessel to travel on business and finds himself in mortal danger after reaching
his destination.
Sneak Peek
“Just over to Melbourne for work,” he replied shortly,
slipping the card back inside his wallet. After all, even if he had felt some sort of connection to Kate
on a mental level, he knew she wouldn’t earn enough in her role as a customer
attendant to use the MindPort system more than once or twice a year. Tarran
would never get involved with someone who couldn’t afford to be in a real relationship with him, one that
transcended the human form.
