After the Flood by James Magnus Carmichael
4.0
First book in a new series and first book I have read by this author. This is a provoking, dystopian novel that seem all too familiar with regards to the environmental issues already facing our planet and global warming that has been changing our lives for years. This book seems to come as a warning.
Corsa Moran is an admirable woman, a Senior Detective, in a society where woman’s place seems to be back at home, having children and cooking healthy meals. The society is driven by fear, greed for power and Military Intelligence who seem to overall all. Once they have you, you might never resurface.
But Corsa isn’t admired. Her own family shuns her, her mother always picking fights and her own colleagues do not hide their dislike for her. And then the bombings start and Corsa losing everything. She can only rely on her on instincts and they lead her straight into some dangerous waters.
I love Corsa – she is like a female version of Eddie Collins (look up Andrew Barrett’s books). She is raw, rude and ruthless in her pursuit of the truth even if it means she puts her own life in danger.
