The perfect next adventure for fans of Red Rising and Hunger Games series, Genesis Echo weaves together tales from a dystopian galaxy not too far from our own. Rain, hidden in an eroding sea-town on Earth by her father and uncle, believes herself to be an ordinary girl, oblivious to her true origins. The truth is, she was born on another planet, and her existence is a closely guarded secret from the oppressive Grey Empire, who hunt her relentlessly across the cosmos. As Rain begins to understand her identity, she learns that Earth has been Humanity’s prison for 70,000 years. The Greys’ domination is absolute and they record everything on Earth to broadcast across the empire for entertainment. Carefully contrived war, disease, and chaos: all a spectacle for their own amusement. On the other side of the galaxy, Lor, a young girl with unique Source-powers, struggles to survive on a derelict factory planet: Grima, where escaped mistakes from the Greys’ cloning experiments lurk in the darkness. And Tonjin, an Elite warrior-in-training, prepares to confront the invasion of his home planet, Rien, in a diabolical viral assault by the Greys. As Rain, Lor, and Tonjin's fates intertwine, they must navigate a treacherous universe where nothing is as it seems and trust becomes their most valuable currency. Together, they will uncover the truth about humanity's captivity and embark on a daring quest to overthrow their oppressors and reclaim their freedom. — Every person has an unbelievable power locked away inside them. The truth is, they stole it even from our memories. "D. Hollis Anderson has created a universe so encompassing, every other story is now a part of his story. Are we living in his story and not even realizing it? This could be the natural next STAR WARS that bridges the gap between reality and fiction. Wow. Bravo!" — Sarita Patel Founder of Madmana Studios Former Executive to George Lucas "Anderson's galaxy-spanning YA SF novel rewrites the history of humankind...The kind-of-cool narrative is part space-opera comic-book, and part metaphysical conspiracy saga that recalls Philip K. Dick's famous theory that humans are secretly trapped by evil forces in an illusory but soul-stifling and awful prison."
