The Crucible (Part 1), Ruby Barnes

[Hayley]

A thought-provoking novel jammed packed with action, espionage and conspiracy. It took me awhile to get into the book, but once I did, I had trouble putting it down!

It paints a very disturbing picture of the potential "solutions" to third world problems. I was extremely surprised (and impressed) by the ending of “part one”. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for part two of the novel!
