O knihe

Dez is a freak. She's a living quantum computer, the missing link between humans and AIs. If Newport City Council knew her secret, she'd be dead meat.
But now she's discovered that the Council is planning to eradicate millions of the fleshers who live in the outer suburbs of Newport, the only habitable city on a ruined planet. Fleshers like her dreamy brother Bo and her rock star girlfriend Flora. Their only allies are the bent cop Brian Mac and a shadowy group of rebels called the Alchems.
What hope does this unlikely band of renegades have against the full force of OpSec?
Their only chance is to risk everything.
The first in a dazzling new science fiction series from best-selling fantasy author Alison Croggon and award-winning playwright Daniel Keene
"The coolest science fiction I've read in years - if cyberpunk dystopian SF is your jam, I highly recommend this amazing book." - Ellie Marney, author of Every Breath
"I absolutely loved the world building in this book. Looking forward to the next book in the series." "What first hooked me was the world and all the intriguing tech stuff…but what made it so hard to put the book down was the characters…Fleshers' two main characters, Dez and Bo, became real people in my mind, with real struggles, hopes, dreams ." Five star reviews on Goodreads
"Fleshers holds a mirror to current societal disparities and ugly elitism, not unlike young adult novels The Hunger Games and Divergent…A book that draws readers through an action-packed, multi-layered narrative and will leave them with the desire to learn more about the complex and unusual characters." - Books+Publishing
