Review of Aletheia by Megan Tennant

Move over Suzanne Collins. 

Megan’s debut dystopian novel is the first in a series that follows the plight of a future survivor known only as 736 from a worldwide virus. Cured of the disease, she and others are virtual slaves to the society that saved them from a horrible degeneration. 736 must use all her cunning and skills to fight for the freedom of her fellow captives in this high tension story.

With today’s advances and exploration in gene therapy and DNA manipulation, this novel speaks to a possible horrifying tomorrow. With Ms. Tennant’s background, the science behind the story rings with authenticity.

Aletheia is the first in the Seventh River series and if this first chapter is any indication of the rest of the series, plan for a lot of late night reading splurges. Extremely exciting and at times horrifying what people will do each other in the name of science, faith or power.

I was given an Advanced Reading Copy of Heat of the Empire in exchange for an honest review.
