ARTIFICIAL ABSOLUTES
by Mary Fan
Artificial Absolutes by Mary Fan was one
of my most expected releases of the year, and now that I’ve finished reading
it, I want to say it exceeded all of
my expectations!
Artificial Absolutes is a terrific sci-fi book featuring Devin and Jane
Colt. From the beginning, I was impressed by the depth of the characters’
characterization. The flashbacks that the author provided in the first chapters
let me connect with Devin and Jane on a much deeper level than I usually do with
characters in other books. The author does a great job bringing her characters
to life.
Devin meets Sarah DeHaven, the most famous singer in the galaxy, while
Jane meets Adam Palmer, a Via priest, who makes Jane like him in a way she
cannot explain. It’s when Devin proposes to Sarah that action picks up. Jane witnesses
Adam being kidnapped. Devin and Jane’s father is shot, and Devin is #1 suspect.
From now on, Artificial Absolutes turns into a real rollercoaster of a read.
Devin flees together with Jane who hopes to find Adam. What I loved about the
book is that I felt like I was watching a movie – the descriptions are so well
done that I had no problem visualizing everything I was reading about.
What I appreciated in AA was that the characters’ thoughts and discussions
are changed by breathtaking action, and you never know what to expect from the
next page. I was deeply moved by the story of Devin and Jane’s mother’s death
and the impact it had on Devin.
I was immensely impressed by the author’s mature writing style. The
characters, the plot, the setting – everything is so well done that it’s
surprising that AA is a debut novel. I can’t wait to read the next book by this
author!
I really enjoyed reading about the futuristic sci-fi world created by
Mary Fan, and I’d like to thank her for the superb read! If you are a sci-fi lover,
Artificial Absolutes is a must-read for you! And I can’t help mentioning how
much I love the title of this book!
DESCRIPTION
Jane Colt is just another recent college grad working as an Interstellar
Confederation office drone—until the day she witnesses her best friend, Adam,
kidnapped by a mysterious criminal. An extensive cover-up thwarts her efforts
to report the crime, shaking her trust in the authorities. Only her older
brother, Devin, believes her account.
Devin hopes to leave behind his violent past and find peace in a
marriage to the woman he loves. That hope shatters when he discovers a shocking
secret that causes him to be framed for murder.
With little more than a cocky attitude, Jane leaves everything she knows
to flee with Devin, racing through the most lawless corners of the galaxy as
she searches for Adam and proof of her brother’s innocence. Her journey
uncovers truths about both of them, leading her to wonder just how much she
doesn’t know about the people she loves.
