It’s been one hundred years since the Correction, the great reset that erased the misguided ideology and spurious intentions of an ancient civilization seemingly bent on destroying itself. The Biodome’s universal moral compass is under attack. Known as the existential virus (EV), she is not to be trifled with. She is judge, jury, and—when need be—executioner. The only cure for EV is an end to the Age of Resolve and a return to ancient times. Seventeen-year-old Everett Steele has just transitioned from high school graduate to official disciple of the new order. After she and fellow Biodome agent Jake Domanso join together in a secret crusade to save EV from annihilation, they become immersed in a highstakes game of cat and mouse. Can they save humanity from the self-destruction of relative morality and the chaos of free will, or is history destined to repeat itself? Publisher’s A provocative future where viruses target rulebreakers - and the hero sides with the viruses. Blueink Readers will be enthralled by this mystery and by the narrative’s intriguing perspective on a world that required correction in the first place. American Writing A fabulous debut that will delight both experienced genre fanatics and literary fiction lovers alike.

Thank you @bookinfluencerscom and the author for a copy of Age of Resolve. 🤍
The Age of Resolve is a dystopian sci-fi novel that tells the story one hundred years since the Correction, the great reset that erased the misguided ideology and spurious intentions of an ancient civilization seemingly bent on destroying itself. The Biodome’s universal moral compass is under attack. Known as the existential virus (EV), she is not to be trifled with. She is judge, jury, and—when need be—executioner. The only cure for EV is an end to the Age of Resolve and a return to ancient times. Seventeen-year-old Everett Steele has just transitioned from high school graduate to official disciple of the new order. After she and fellow Biodome agent Jake Domanso join together in a secret crusade to save EV from annihilation, they become immersed in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Can they save humanity from the self-destruction of relative morality and the chaos of free will, or is history destined to repeat itself?
This novel was quite difficult to get into at first but the story leading to the Correction was detailed yet precise and straightforward, which I appreciate as it made the pacing faster than it would usually take for a sci-fi novel. The story also dives into some topics that would make you think and ask questions about the current state of the world which has a lot of judgment, corruption and abuse of power, toxicity both mentally and physically, cyberbullying, etc. just like how it challenged the main character’s beliefs. It would make you really compare fantasy vs reality and ask, what if?
I would highly recommend this novel if you enjoy dystopian science fiction.
Rating The Age of Resolve ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5.

In the Age of Resolve, one hundred years since the Correction, the great reset that erased the misguided ideology, one hundred years since the Biodome and with it, the existential virus, EV for short. Our modern day exterminator of all things wrong with the world. It has helped curb the evil human tendencies. However EV is under threat and our protagonist Everett Steele, who transitions from high school graduate to official disciple of the new order, along with fellow Biodome agent Jake Domanso have to save EV and the Biodome for humanity, from the self destruction of relative morality.
The book is phenomenal, complex, wonderfully written yet addictive, sometimes exciting, a bit confusing but amazing. This clearly means I have mixed feelings about the book but mostly positive. The book has been written after great thought and research, with real photographs from the world's famous man-made disasters and mishappenings. It's a unique book, I've not read anything of this kind. The book opens a debate that a situation like this, the Age of Resolve, is utopia or dystopia? Is human free will a good thing or bad? A question that definitely deserves us spending our time pondering over it. This is a great debut from the author and I'm keen on reading whatever comes next from the author.

I haven’t read a dystopian novel in a very long time and I can honestly say this one was pretty unique. It started out pretty heavy throwing the reader several different terms and facts. If I read this as a teen I might have just skimmed the prologue because I wouldn’t have known what some of it meant. However, reading it as an adult I was very curious and it made me start asking questions. I will say, it is obvious that the author is passionate about her book and it shows in her writing as well as the research provided. How this book was written was basically perfect. It had such a nice flow to it and was structured in a way that kept the story progressing at a quick pace. While I might have struggled with the first chapter as a teen, I would have devoured this book! Reading this reminded me of some of my favorite post-apocalyptic novels. This book would truly make a fantastic movie. It’s one that would translate well on the screen. I want to say more but this book is one that you need to experience for yourself. Just know, it’s a book that will make you ask questions, look at the world differently, and will have you rooting for the main character. I highly recommend this one!

In a new era of humanity, people have moved past the traditional trappings of bad thoughts and deeds after an event called “The Correction.” However, life in the Biodome is not so serene when something known as the existential virus (EV) is about to change everything.
Main character Everett Steele - a 17 year old on the cusp of transitioning past high school and into the new order - bands together with Jake Domanso to help save humanity from itself…but will they be successful?
This book is the first of a new series. I think those who enjoy science fiction with a dose of christian thought will find this interesting. In the middle of the book there are also images and displays of humanities lowest points which spark some deep thought one can have on the state of human affairs. It’s definitely not a light read or a book for the faint of heart, but if you love dystopian fiction you will enjoy this one.

"The Age of Resolve: The E.V. Chronicles" is penned by Ilene Grydsuk. In this post-apocalyptic novel, the existential virus has got rid of all evil and selfish human vices and brought in the Age of Resolve. However, evil always has a way to crop up. When the existential virus is on the verge of being neutralized, Evey and Jake do everything in their power to save it so that the Biodome, with its motto of harmony, integrity, and purpose, survives in its full glory. The book is well-researched and beautifully written. The photographs included in the book underscores the author's message of sustainability and morality. This book is recommended to people who enjoy reading post-apocalyptic YA books, Christian novels, and science fiction. The next book in the series is highly anticipated.
