The Orphans
The Orphans is a science fiction novel in which Jim, a washed up private detective who suffers from bizarre neurological symptoms, is hired by an anonymous client to locate seven orphans, the only survivors of a mass suicide thirty years ago. The novel is set on Mars, a planet of war refugees, organized crime, drug addicts, and The Church of Great Bliss – a “neurotheistic” religion which practices the post-mortem fusing and disembodied resurrection of the brains of deceased members, resulting in an afterlife of unified consciousness. As Jim stumbles upon more facts about the case, he uncovers a conspiracy implicating some of the most powerful individuals on Mars.

I was lucky enough to read this book after the author reached out to me and provided me with an ARC. I hope the prospective reader will read this review fully before making any prejudgments on the book. I will give the book my thoughts. These thoughts are completely my own and not swayed in any way by anyone else’s reviews or opinions.

My Rating: I find the author to be a genius in combining historical elements with this out of this world feel. This was one large feat and I was excited about it every step of the way. I am not always the biggest fan of these novels, but this one is a recommend. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I am giving anyone who loves this idea a nudge to read it. You will be faced with so many twists and turns that you won’t know what is happening next. Overall, what a wonderful read. Please, go and purchase this book right away!

Imaginative with a strong Philip K Dick vibe. Be aware, however, that it is also graphic in places.
