The Colony is a dystopian sci-fi where all men have been killed by a mysterious disease. Now men are created in a factory and must earn their right to be released into the wild by passing a series of tests. The book deals with several themes such as nature vs nurture, CRISPR gene editing and survival of the fittest.
Here are what a couple of reviewers have had to say: "I found The Colony really very good, it's an excellent read. We live with “Bumble Ben” through his final days before the test and then the elimination process itself, and I say “we live”, because that’s how I felt. The writing is gripping and you just keep turning the pages. There are interesting twists and surprises throughout the story and what happens at the end, the final twist, I didn’t see coming. It’s such a clever ending and I loved it. I feel really gutted now, that I've finished the book and have to leave The Colony."

"Until I can get my thoughts out coherently, all I can really say is that I love this story and there needs to be more. The story arc in the book seemed to close but it feels like just the beginning of a much bigger story, and I hope more books are written starting where Colony left off"
