Blade Runner Meets X-Men? W*n KM Ruiz' TERMINAL POINT

The quick commercial message...I'm over at the wonderful Jami Gold's blog today, talking about the five top lessons I learned on my recent book tour for Royal Street....some good experiences, and some not so good. You can find it here.

Now...today's featured book has one of those promo descriptions that always either intrigue me or make me laugh. I kind of find "Blade Runner Meets X-Men" intriguing. What do you think? The book is Terminal Point, which came out in mid-June, by author K.M. Ruiz, whose debut book, Mind Storm, was released last year. Mind Storm and Terminal Point take place 250 years after Earth is nearly wiped out by nuclear war. What's left of society is left to fight on the ruined Earth while the wealthy make plans to run off in secret to another planet. But the nuclear fallout has led to a new breed of humanity--psions--who are enslaved by the wealthy to protect their interests...except that doesn't exactly work out.

Want to check out Terminal Point? Read on...


ABOUT TERMINAL POINT: Threnody Corwin and her team of rogue Strykers contend with the aftermath of the events in Mind Storm and the unlocking of a new kind of psion power. They’re on the run with Lucas Serca, who is closer than ever to destroying the World Court and his father’s grip on the planet. Targeting the hidden cache of the planet’s food supply meant to transform Mars into a paradise for the chosen few, Lucas triggers an escalating fight with the ruling government as worldwide chaos ensues. It’s up to Threnody to save society before it destroys itself, but the cost is high and in the end, there is no such thing as compromise. There is only survival.

So, ready to read some dystopian madness and win a copy of Terminal Point? You know the drill--leave a comment for an entry. As always, extra entries for blog follow, Twitter follow @Suzanne_Johnson, and a Tweet or Retween, so four entries possible.
