Elysium

Colossus of Rhodes #3

by Oscar Relentos

The man with the blood red eye is watching Samantha Rhodes.

Oblivious to his designs, reality TV starlet Samantha passes through a grandiose world she never dreamed could be so vast and wondrous. The faux goddess Krista Daniels has whisked Samantha and her love interest Ryder from the ruined regions, and brought them into a technologically advanced, unruined world to be paraded and marketed in front of millions of sadistic fans of their show. Within the societal embrace of endless static lenses staring their way with adoration, the shadow caring of a sick joke of a party thrown to celebrate Samantha’s presence, and the way Krista smiles their way with such plastic warmth and affection.

Samantha falls under the false pretense that she and those she loves are safe.

Ryder’s sisters remain trapped within the confines of the ruined regions with an injured genie.

And the man with the blood red eye soon comes to hijack Samantha’s static iris, and reveal the bleeding truth in their society's twisted lies.

What a great third book in the series, that really builds on the rest of the world. I would love a bit more in depth history if you ever felt like doing a series in the same world with different characters. However please continue with this series. I have to know what happens next! This is also the most well written of the books by far. Without giving too much away, the locations are very different but really start to add a sense of world building, especially the region mentioned at the end which I am excited to see explored. Please write more to this series!

Great series

I loved this series and can’t wait to see if there are any more instalments. Originally prompted by a reddit word prompt post. Would highly recommend for any science fiction fans
