Publisher's summary

Can a failed scientist save a city? Can he even save himself?

Fired from his dream job and exiled among the misfits and mutants of the Undercity, Tak has gone from wunderkind to washed-out failure in record time. His last hope of reclaiming his life in the shining city above is to somehow prove his wild theories correct.

In order to continue his research, Tak accepts a job at a shady underground laboratory, where he struggles to reconcile what he believes to be right with the things he must do to survive. But when a strange plague rips through the people of the Undercity, Tak’s knowledge becomes their only hope of survival. In his race to find a cure, Tak uncovers things about his former life he never knew. Secrets the shining city will work to conceal by any means necessary.

With his life on the line, Tak must choose between reclaiming his old life of privilege and saving the Undercity people who need him.

Because he can’t have it both ways. And time is running out.

More please!

This is one of those books where halfway through you realize you've found a new favorite writer. I'm really hoping there will be a sequel or that someone will buy it and turn it into a movie or series. Arquin created a robust scifi world with layers of intrigue and complexity. One book isn't enough to explore and enjoy this world. More please!

Engrossing Science Fiction

This story captivated my attention from the opening page until the last one. The world building was complex, multi-layered, and fascinating. The characters were fun, complicated, and unusual. The tale was fast-paced and held plenty of action. J. S. Arquin's narration was fine, and his voice was pleasant. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
