Blurb:

The Consortium is All. But Recorder Can No Longer Obey.

Recorder has no family, no friends, and no name. Donated to the Consortium before birth, her sole purpose is to maintain and verify the records. A neural implant and drone ensure compliance, punishing for displays of bias.

Suddenly cut off from controlling technology, Recorder tastes what it means to be human. But if the Consortium discovers her feelings, everyone she knows will be in danger.

With no name, no resources, and only an infinitesimal possibility of escape, Recorder’s time is running out.

Praise for Recorder

My Mini Review

Recorder, the first book in the new sci-fi trilogy Children of the Consortium, invites us into a world where there are eyes always watching, always recording, always monitoring. Humans and Recorders live together but separate, each understanding their roles and precarious standing, until one Recorder is stripped of her ability to record and a crew of humans decide to show her how to live and love. A gripping balance of sci-fi adventure and philosophical pondering threaded through with all that makes humans human from humor to hate, forgiveness to betrayal, and love to loss. Do not miss out on this stellar debut!
