Traverse

The Schema #2

by Avery Dox

On the brink of war, Kai and four others find themselves held captive by a vessel that reveals little about itself. With their homes still ablaze, they’re helpless to alter its trajectory while they pursue an unknown destination. Upon inexplicably reversing course, they’re left with more questions than answers.

As its engines finally wind down, everyone aboard grows eager to escape the cabin and breathe the outside air. But when the hatch refuses to unseal, the anxious passengers must make an important decision: stay inside the ship, or force their way out. Only one man aboard understands the vessel’s full protocol—a man who hasn't spoken since their journey began.

Kai and the others soon discover that the world they once knew, a shining beacon of life and prosperity, is forever transformed.

Book #2 in this Trilogy was a great read! One of those books you think about while you are reading and afterwards. The notion of a future where we can "sample" the future is both intriguing and somewhat disturbing. As with the first book in this trilogy, a big suprise toward the end of the book. I am moving on to the third book and looking forward to it.
