The Reformed Man
The Reformed Man: A Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller | Dina Santorelli
1 post | 1 read
From the author of the bestselling thriller Baby Grand comes the heart-pounding story of a man who had no future. Little did he know, the future of humankind would be in his hands. Rising tides. Rising temperatures. Rising fear. Since the Great Shift killed millions worldwide twenty-five years ago, humankind has been bracing itself for a second cosmic catastrophe called the Great Purge, which is expected to extinguish most of what is left of civilization. One of the only viable means of escape�and hope�comes from a program created by �The Great One,� Icelander Benedikt Rafnkelsson. His company, Future Comm, owns the rights to a time-travel portal, and Rafnkelsson is vowing to save a select number of young, healthy, high-achieving �Candidates� so that they can travel to the future and rebuild the human race. Grady Smith has spent most of the last sixteen years preparing his brother, Kenny, for the Candidate program. Brilliant and athletic, Kenny is a local superstar. However, when Kenny fears he may fail a final health exam, he convinces Grady to secretly take the exam for him. That decision sets off a chain of events that puts the brothers on the wrong side of the law, and sends them hurtling into a future that looks nothing like what Rafnkelsson has promised.

I'm reading this for book club and we're meeting with the author, who lives locally. There is so much going on, the story is totally disjointed, every person who pops up is referred to by both a first and last name, and then this. I'm really struggling to finish this but I'm so confused and bogged down by superfluous information. More than that, I don't know how to turn that into constructive criticism for the author!!! 😫

IamIamIam @quietlycuriouskate I think maybe I'll address all the names saying it was confusing but I think that's really where I need to stop! I'm really curious to see how the rest of the group will react! 1y
