Mr. McCane
Wake of Deception is book one in The Genesis Key Trilogy. This is a YA sci-fi novel. In this world, the Ancient Ones are an alien race that has saved Earth from humans destroying each other and the planet. People regard them as Gods, and they enforce a long list of rules. The Ancient Ones do not allow dreaming, and they rehabilitate anyone who suffers from dysphoria. People who violate the rules are sent to the Flush, while everyone else on the planet is heavily monitored.
Sixteen-year-old Hanu is a dreamer, and he has been living in the Flush for the last seven years. While there, he has another dream. Someone or something, gives him a mission. He must find the Genesis Key. He convinces himself that finding the Genesis Key may be a way to take back the planet. Or was it just another dream?
Anyway, Hanu and a group of other young patients find themselves caught up in an interstellar, or perhaps intergalactic war.
I enjoyed this read. It’s a slow burn, unpredictable, and ends on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see what happens in book two.
If I had to critique anything, I would say that the chapters felt a little long at times, and I wanted more of the Genesis Key. However, I’m sure book two will take care of that.
This is my second read by this author. The first was a standalone novel titled God, Science, and a Really Dumb Experiment. That one was really good also. That one is also YA.
