The Geminus Program
Alastar Remshot, raised in one of the most affluent families in the city of Fanghel, is expected to attend the prestigious Fang Heller Flight Academy, an elite school that trains magical soldiers to wield the power of the cosmos with devices called Geminus Gloves. To do any less, or to associate with those of common upbringing like his classmate Jacob Frillow, would be to fail the Remshot family name, as Alastar’s mother Trilla frequently reminds him.
But as Alastar grows closer to his peers Jacob, Elaria, and Penelope, he begins to question the strict class divisions he has always believed in and become concerned about a recent string of disappearing vagrants. Detective Paylin Knox is tasked with investigating these disappearances in the Farmoth District, home to the poor who can’t afford Geminus Gloves, and soon finds himself on the trail of a mysterious, cult-like group known as Mors Deus. Neither Alastar and his new friends nor Paylin could expect just how deep this mystery goes—or who is involved.
The first book in the Twin Anomalies Saga from imaginative, original voice Stephen Morgotch, The Geminus Program will delight fans of science fiction and fantasy young and old.

Enjoyable book with engaging story. Loved the interplay of Sci Fi and Fantasy. This was a breath of originality, in some ways a Harry Potter in space. The idea of magic being an buyable ability for the rich and the resulting disparity was fascinating. Also the magic versus technology aspect is something I would love to explore more.
I felt that dialogue was awkward at times and more of the world could have been inferred than explained. Also characters were slightly flat. Probably further edits would have polished the book. While this was listed a young adult fiction, I think this actually is more for a younger audience.
Over all a great attempt by a first time author. Look forward to the next installment!

Such a great read! I couldn't put it down.
I wasn't expecting this book to have so many twists, and almost all of them caught me off guard. I liked the character development of Alastair and am looking forward to seeing the other character arcs throughout the series. I found the descriptive writing really allowed me to form a good mental image without being too wordy.
Handing it off to my boyfriend to read as he loved the Red Rising series and HP, and this novel has a similar flavour of both these series while successfully maintaining its originality.
