#FridayBookShare The Dead Lands by @dylanjmorgan #scifi

With the weekend approaching it’s the perfect time to seek out new books to read, so I’ve created a Friday Book Share game to help search for that ideal read.

Anyone can have a go – all you need to do is answer the following questions based on a book you are currently reading/finished reading this week and use the hashtag #FridayBookShare

First line of the book.

Recruit fans by adding the book blurb.

Introduce the main character using only three words.

Delightful design (add the cover image of the book).

Audience appeal (who would enjoy reading this book?)

Your favourite line/scene.

Here’s mine:

I’m 40% through The Dead Lands by Dylan J.Morgan

First line – With a steady hand he picked up a thin tube and attached it to the needle embedded into the woman’s smooth, pale skin. 

Recruit fans by adding the book blurb –

Lane is a bounty hunter for Erebus’ corrupt government, his life a constant battle against past demons. Framed for murder, Lane is offered one option to avoid the death penalty: rejoin the army and partake in a covert operation to the apocalyptic world of Hemera, Erebus’ sister planet.

A century after the nuclear conflict that ended mankind’s third age, Hemera has now sent a distress signal to its sister: the president has awoken, and he’s calling for aid. Early intelligence reports indicate the mission will be straightforward, that Hemera is a vacant shell with all forms of life and hostility extinguished.

They are wrong.

Bandits control the dead lands, but there are things much worse waiting for Lane and his squadron once they enter the city walls. Having lived with the nightmares of his shattered past, Lane must now face the mutated horrors of mankind’s future in the toughest battle of his life.

Introduce the main character – Lane is tough, wary and quietly caring

Delightful Design

Audience appeal – Perfect for fans of sci-fi and dystopian

Your favourite line/scene –

He strained his neck and looked to the heavens, the sky a glorious deep blue.

Sadness and intense fear coursed through his body, his nerve-endings tingling with dread. It couldn’t be a more glorious day on which to die.
