Hi all. I'm looking for test readers for my latest book, a sci-fi thriller/YA cross-over, titled ATTICUS. There are lots of pop culture references, twists and turns, and a bit of mystery. My first book, The Kronos Interference, was named to Kirkus Reviews Best of 2012 and received a starred review.
For this book, I'm soliciting feedback as I complete major chunks of it, which will allow me to make course corrections early, even though the whole book is outlined. I have about 70 pages done now, and expect the book to be completed in April or May.
If you're interested in being a test reader, just email me at jbmanas(at)gmail(dot)com.
Here's the summary blurb for it.
ATTICUS
By J.B. Manas
WITHIN ONE MAN’S PAST LIES THE WHOLE WORLD’S FUTURE
Rachel Benjamin is your average twenty-two-year-old pop culture geek who has a not-so-average day when her car is run off the road by a falling military spacecraft. In the wreckage, she discovers a young British amnesiac whose only memories are from World War II, some 70 years earlier.
Soon, she and her new companion find themselves chased by government agents, deadly assassins, and a mysterious figure with extraordinary abilities—all with orders to capture the stranger and kill anyone he’s been in contact with.
Now she must rely on her slacker ex-boyfriend and his gruff, veteran-cop uncle to stay alive and help the stranger recover his memories—the deepest of which contain a startling secret that could impact the fate of the entire human race.
