Newlander - Arrivals

by David Dire

Part One of the Dystopian Fiction Series, Newlander:

Finding out his identity is only his first barrier, but when an unknown man finds himself trapped on an island, a whole other set of problems find him. The future and the past seem to be indistinguishable from one another on The Island of Stability, and his everyday life is set on a course he has no control over, a course that if he goes against it, could lead to fatal results...

The citizens of the island already recognize him even though he can't recognize himself, and two women who have taken a particular interest in him - one with power, and one with seeming compassion - are tearing him apart.

He has but two choices, to be obedient, or to go against the grain, with dangerous implications. Embroiled in intrigue, he fights to solve the riddle of The Newlander, and achieve the impossible, and find a way out...

About the author

Science fiction with edge-of-the-seat action, Machiavellian reversals of fortune, and unavoidable heartbreak and sacrifice. David Dire writes thought-provoking sci-fi with frequent elements of mystery in fiction that delve into the complex contradictions and motivations of us all.

He brings the lesser-represented views of the outsider closer to the fore with multi-layered fiction that envisages future worlds where technology and society may have gone desperately awry, or where we ourselves have taken a wrong turn.

The rebel in him has always sided with the underdog who goes against the grain of collective thought, and as such, many of his characters take on this mantle despite overpowering adversity.

Reviews

[Kimberly Newman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I considered giving it three stars, but it just wouldn't be fair because I enjoyed David Dire's writing style very much. The character had me sympathizing with him from the start. The author's descriptions are vivid and well-written. As far as the story itself, I believe more hints as to what was really happening would go far to make me want to read the next book in the series. Without any clue ever given as to what John's real identity was, why he was there, and what the point of it all was, I felt like like an astronaut without a tether.
