About this listen

Nearly a century has passed since the world was devastated by pandemics and wars that wiped out over 90 percent of the Earth’s population. To assure the survival of mankind, the leaders of the rebuilt city of Haven are breeding a better human race: meaning those deemed too stupid, too weak, too poor - too “unfit” - are arrested and forcibly sterilized.

John Hunter is a penniless, self-educated young man from the wrong side of Haven struggling to make something of himself to provide for his wife and their hopes of starting a family. Until the authorities show up at his door and arrest him for the crime of being “unfit”. Heartbroken and humiliated, will John abandon his aspirations and resign himself to quietly accept his fate?

A very interesting concept

I was given a free copy of this book for an honest review

I enjoyed the story and the concept of this book. It reminded me of the film “equilibrium” in some ways with a dystopian edge, a ruling elite and completely dominated subservient populace. I would have liked the back story to have been explored a lot more but hopefully this will be explained in the second book

I was a little disappointed by the ending. The intensity of the storyline builds and just sort of ends. There isn’t really a cliffhanger either. It just seems to stop but again the second book can help this

A very interesting take on humanity and poses the question - should some people be forcibly sterilised?

For the greater good

This book took a couple of chapters to get going due to the amount of world building information given, but it had me on the edge of my seat once it did. I cared about the characters and I was rooting for them to succeed. I guessed the plot twist early on though, but the tension came from waiting for the characters to work it out. The narration was good but a bit on the slow side. I could comfortably listen to the story at 1.15x speed.

There were a few loose ends left at the end of the story, and I truly hope there is going to be at least one more book to come in this dystopian world! Recommended.

I received a free copy of this book via StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving a review.
