Quarter Finalist
Assessment:
Plot: A biting social commentary is suffused with dramatic mystery and suspense.
Prose: Evans’s prose sizzles with suspense and wry humour in equal measure. His setting is palpable.
Originality: Although some metaphors can come across as heavy handed, he gives readers a new world to dive into—a world where politics, sex, and identity merge in surprising ways.
Character/Execution: The characters leap off of the page. Readers will appreciate the conversational, approachable tone of the book.
Blurb: This exciting debut brings together the stories of outsiders. In Evans’s brave new world, human colonization has brought about an uneasy peace between the Gaians and the Faders. This is a remarkably timely social commentary bound up in a dramatic space opera.
