“As I walked into the darkness, I had the distinctive feeling my life would never be the same.”
Callie Sullivan headlines The Io Project, a new sci-fi series by J.E. Clarkson. In book one, Sullivan accepts the opportunity to work with the renowned Horatio Brookes, an inventor and philanthropist, on an environmental project after climate change starts having an accelerated impact.
The book opens with a foreboding introduction, followed by Callie recounting her experience working on the Io Project.
After reading the Nemo and Co. series, some of the themes and mechanisms in the Io Project feel familiar. Both series have sinister uses of technology, mirages, and rampant mistrust. However, even when she revisits themes from her previous works, she still manages to surprise. And there are enough differences in the plots and characters that it doesn’t feel like a rerun.
Catchy descriptions, like “the greasy pole of success,” were one of my favorite things about the Io project. As always, I enjoyed the many twists and turns that Clarkson, one of my auto-buy authors, includes in her writing.
I am looking forward to the next book in the series. It will surely be a wild, unpredictable ride for Callie and readers alike.

"There’s an emergency on planet Earth and this man says he can save us."
That man is Horatio Brookes. But remember "Horatio Brookes is a psychopath."
Would you put the future of humanity in the hands of a psychopath? That is the question that Callie Sullivan has to wrestle with in Jayne Clarkson's newest book (and the start of a new series) The Io Project.
Set in the near future, climate disruption has proven to be worse than projected. Time is running out for the human race. But one man has a plan, Horatio Brookes! Callie eagerly takes the opportunity to work for Brookes on this ambitious project. She soon discovers that not everything is as it seems and she has to fight for not only her life but for the future of humanity.
If you have read any of Clarkson's previous books you know to expect a rollercoaster ride full of twists and turns. This book follows in that tradition! I have to admit that I did not see the twist coming at the end of the book. I am definitely on board for the sequel. Of her three series - this one has, in my opinion, the best opening book!

What Can I Say?
Couldn't put this book down. Really at a loss of words on my reaction to reading such an intriguing book. Know how it is said that there is only a hair between love and hate? Well there is only a hair between reality and things to come
