The City Below: A 2603 Novel
اس ای بک کے بارے میں
Commander Grace Buteo protects Zone 2, a prosperous place thriving in part due to her diligent efforts to guard its citizens against cyber-attacks, identity theft, and security threats from the rogue terrorist cells plaguing the outer zones. But when her husband and son are killed in an IED explosion intended for Grace herself, her survivor’s guilt nearly breaks her.
She throws herself into her work, hoping to renew her sense of purpose and loyalty to the city she loves. She’s given the opportunity when a high-profile genetic engineering company reports the theft of 26 artificial organs. But investigating this theft leads Grace to discover that her city—and her new assistant inspector—may not be as perfect as they seem…

Don't miss this thrilling blend of mystery and science fiction, with a touch of romance that will captivate your imagination and challenge your vision of the future.

درجہ بندی اور جائزے
مصنف کے بارے میں
Kory M. Shrum is author of the bestselling Shadows in the Water and Dying for a Living series, as well as several other novels. She has loved books and words all her life. She reads almost every genre you can think of, but when she writes, she writes science fiction, fantasy, and thrillers, or often something that’s all of the above.
In 2020, she launched a true crime podcast “Who Killed My Mother?” under the name K.B. Marie, sharing the true story of her mother’s tragic death. You can listen for free on YouTube or your favorite podcast app.
When not writing or producing her show, she can usually be found under thick blankets with snacks. The kettle is almost always on. When she’s not eating, reading, writing, or indulging in her true calling as a stay-at-home dog mom, she loves to plan her next adventure. (Travel.)
She lives in Michigan with her equally bookish wife, Kim, and their rescue pug, Charley.
