    About this ebook

    A hunter seeking revenge. An alien dying to stop him. Could a government conspiracy put them both six feet under?

    Investigator Bill Taggart will stop at nothing to find his missing wife. But standing between him and the truth is a secretive alien species on a distant planet. When his government pushes him to observe the species ahead of plans to relocate Earth’s population, Bill crashes straight into the path of one alien.

    The surprising confrontation forces Bill to question whether the investigation into the savage species is needed. But when official government intel disagrees with the cold hard facts, he worries there might be another reason for the relocation plans.

    A snap government order leaves the investigator in limbo and facing off against a new enemy that is more dangerous than the first. Worse, this enemy appears to live close to home.

    A devastating set of plans is soon revealed that will destroy the lives on two worlds. And Bill is caught in the middle. Can he stop chasing ghosts long enough to save humanity from the real enemy?

    Genesis Code is the first novel in this dystopian society thriller. If you enjoy incredible world building, complex characters, and disturbing secrets, then you'll love Eliza Green's intricately woven dystopian series.

    Eliza Green

    Eliza Green tried her hand at fashion designing, massage, painting, and even ghost hunting, before finding her love of writing. She often wonders if her desire to change the ending of a particular glittery vampire story steered her in that direction (it did). After earning her degree in marketing, Eliza went on to work in everything but marketing, but swears she uses it in everyday life, or so she tells her bank manager.Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, she lives there with her sci-fi loving, evil genius best friend. When not working on her next amazing science fiction adventure, you can find her reading, indulging in new food at an amazing restaurant or simply singing along to something with a half decent beat.

      I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It reminded me in parts of Planet of the Apes, Avatar, and the TV show Terra Nova.

      The basic premise is that, in the distant future, Earth has become a harsh, near inhospitable environment. Twenty billion people still occupy the planet, but they live under an autocratic, despotic World Government, and pollution has gotten so bad that going outdoors requires you to wear a special portable mask or risk suffocation.

      There is another planet, Exilon 5, which has just recently been terraformed, and most people on Earth long to go there. It's still very early days, though, so only a couple of thousand humans live there, and the government carefully controls whom it allows to emigrate.

      It's a well thought-out story, with real, believable tech and characters, and it gives you lots of food for thought and tough questions to ponder. It's billed as "Dystopian Fiction", and technically, that's true. The problem with that description, though, is that today, "Dystopian" usually conjures up images of angsty Young Adult Hunger Games clones. You'll be pleased to note that this book is NOT one of those.

      My only real issue with this story is the ending. And it's tearing me apart, because as I type this, I still don't know whether to give this book three stars or four.

      If you know me, you'll know that I absolutely, positively despise cliffhangers. I've been known to drop a five-star review all the way down to one, just because a book leaves a character in a life-or-death situation and forces me to buy the next just to find out what happens.

      Well, to be fair, the ending of this book isn't exactly a "proper" cliffhanger. No-one is in imminent, clear-and-present danger. It's just that it leaves way too many threads unresolved. Certain characters still need to find each other, someone is desperate to know the truth about something, still another is left stranded. It'd be nice if those questions were answered in this instalment, so the next episode would feel more like a complete story instead of just a continuation of this one.

      Having said that, I am going to read the next one. So that's not a two, at least... Nope, I think this is, in fact, a three-star review, after all.
