ORANGE CITY by @leematthewgoldberg
1st book in the Series.
231 pages.

🦉 Did you find the “title” &/ or the “cover” very peculiar or different or unique??
Did it remind you of an orange soda drink?
Was it able to catch your attention/ eye?

🍊 Imagine a secret, hidden city that gives a second chance at life for those selected to come: felons, deformed outcasts, those on the fringe of the Outside World.
Everyone gets a job, a place to live; but you are bound to the city forever.
You can never leave. 

Its citizens are ruled by a monstrous figure called the “Man” who resembles a giant demented spider from the lifelike robotic limbs attached to his body.
Everyone follows the man blindly, working hard to make their Promised Land stronger, too scared to defy him and be discarded to the Empty Zones.

After ten years as an advertising executive, Graham Weatherend receives an order to test a new client, Pow! Sodas.
After one sip of the orange flavor, he becomes addicted, the sodas causing wild mood swings that finally wake him up to the prison he calls reality. 

🍊 An atmospheric read creating a dystopian world which has the ability to scare me to bits..
This sci-fi story was so engaging & at the same time, it killed me imagining & living in such a world, for every minuscule sec.
I let out a sigh of relief once the book finished, as if I had been holding my breath..to be pulled into the sequel, 🍋 LemonWorld.
Its a fun read, written in an interesting way..a style very different from what I had experienced in my previous read THE ANCESTOR, by the author.

🍊 Lee Matthew Goldberg is the author of THE ANCESTOR, THE DESIRE CARD, SLOW DOWN and THE MENTOR from St. Martin’s Press.
