Orange City

De: Lee Matthew Goldberg

Narrado por: Tim Fannon

Imagine a secret, hidden city that gives a second chance at life for those selected to come: felons, deformed outcasts, those on the fringe of the Outside World. Everyone gets a job, a place to live; but you are bound to the city forever. You can never leave.

Its citizens are ruled by a monstrous figure called the "Man" who resembles a giant demented spider from the lifelike robotic limbs attached to his body. Everyone follows the man blindly, working hard to make their Promised Land stronger, too scared to defy him and be discarded to the Empty Zones.

After 10 years as an advertising executive, Graham Weatherend receives an order to test a new client, Pow! Sodas. After one sip of the orange flavor, he becomes addicted, the sodas causing wild mood swings that finally wake him up to the prison he calls reality.

A dynamic mash-up of 1984 meets Lost, Orange City is a lurid, dystopian first book in a series that will continue with the explosive sequel Lemonworld.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Neatly paced and escalating like a sinister bar crawl, the novel gives readers the flavor of Philip K. Dick and perhaps a little Kafka and J.G. Ballard in the mixology. We'll drink to that!" (Kirkus Reviews)

"An ambitious dystopian series debut, this hair-raising science fiction novel is perfect for fans of layered conspiracies, altered realities, and eerie dystopias." (Publishers Weekly, BookLife)

"An exciting dystopian thriller and pretty much a one-of-a-kind experience. I kept trying to anticipate the next twist of the plot but I could never guess where this book was going to go." (LiteraryTitan.com)

Not my cup of POW

Went from boring to inane in five chapters. Unimaginative plot. Unbelievable characters but lots of colors.
