The Actuality by Paul Braddon

adventurous dark informative mysterious reflective tense fast-paced

3.0

This was published this week and is being adapted by the BBC.  It’s about a near-perfect bioengineered human in a broken-down England.  Her kind is outlawed, and when she is discovered living with a ‘husband’, she has to flee from those predators who would wish to exploit her.  I was impressed by the futuristic world the author has built, and it’s a great premise. Whilst the first half was very compelling, unfortunately the second half felt a bit rushed for me.  This is getting very favourable reviews so don’t just take my word for it.  Thank you Sandstone Press for the review copy.
