Silent Clarion: The Full Collection by Matthew Graybosch

5.0

Silent Clarion by Matthew Graybosch is a series published by Curiosity Quills now compiled into one book that encompasses all of Adversary Naomi’s involvement with the small town named Clarion. Naomi is CPMD+ meaning she looks dynamically different from humans and can really only hope to have children (should she choose) with another who is like her. But Naomi is a real badass chick. She’s an Adversary for the government and is a step above the police but that puts her in a dangerous position nonetheless. Should she be found to be overstepping her bounds she can be executed for it because of the power that being an Adversary carries. She’s good at her job but she takes things to the edge when her boyfriend of a year tells her that his family has been on him to marry and have an heir. But that’s not what takes her to the edge…he asks her to become his mistress after he cheats on her with the woman he decides to accept as his fiancé. The next day at work she takes things to the edge with some officers who are violating monotheists rights and decides she needs to take a break for awhile.
While taking a bit of her vacation up in New York she hears about disappearances in a small town called Clarion. She does a little probing but it is told that the information is classified and she’s not cleared to even be told anything and to leave it alone. But Naomi decides to go and do some investigation of her own. Of course in no time flat before even getting into town she’s making friends and starting to learn a few things here and there but there is danger afoot. Something is being covered up there in Clarion and some of the inhabitants are working to keep things quiet.
Silent Clarion is an engaging story. It is definitely a long read but it’s an enjoyable one overall following along with Naomi as she works to learn what is going on and to protect lives as well. This is a SciFi Thriller in my opinion because it puts the main character into situations of where, even though you know that she’s fully capable of handling herself, you wonder about those that she takes with her at times. This book is engaging and really enjoyable over all. I really think that the author and Curiosity Quills had a great idea compiling all of these into one book. Definitely a good one to check out if you are into SciFi stories and thrillers with a bit of mystery as well.
