‘Beneath the Surface’ Tells a story of corruption and deception
I really like science fiction books. They can transport me to different futures and always tell a great story. When I heard of Beneath the Surface, I was excited to read it. It was different than I expected it to be. I was able to read a digital copy of this book and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for Beneath the Surface here:
When a change in collective conscious sends the Outsiders, a group of aliens, to the shadows below the city, humans reason that the demonization of their peers is simply more “humane.” There’s no question, nor doubt. Just acceptance.
Lydia had embraced that sense of “truth” for as long as she can remember. The daughter of a powerful governor, she has been able to live her life with more comforts than most. Comforts can be suffocating, though, and when the opportunity to teach Outsider children in their private, “humane” community becomes available, she takes it.
What she finds beneath the city is far from the truth she had grown to know. There she meets Alessia, an Outsider with the knowledge and will to shake the foundation of all those who walk above ground. The two find a new and unexpected connection despite a complete disconnect from the technological world. Or perhaps in spite of it.
Still, it takes a lot more than an immutable connection to change the world. Lydia, Alessia, and a small group of Outsiders must navigate a system of corruption, falsehoods, and twists none of them ever saw coming, all while holding on to the hope to come out alive in the end. But it’s a risk worth taking, and a future worth fighting for.
I really enjoyed Beneath the Surface. It is so much more than it appears to be at first. It is a science fiction story, yet there is romance, deception, corruption, greed, fear, hate and more. The characters were wonderful, and a lot of amazing things came to light as the story is told. This is a story where things aren’t always as they seem. The ending did a great job bringing this tale to a close. If you are looking for a different kind of science fiction book to read, the you will want to check this book out.
