Summary/ product description: “True Earth has returned
during a massive snowstorm in Manhattan-and this time they have an army. Rhys,
Noble, Sophia, and Peter know they don't stand a chance against the enemy
without Miranda. And once they revive her, she's horrified to find her world in
flames.
The
enemy occupation is brutal, but the director promises to release her hold on
the city if Mr. East is turned in, and Miranda and her team are determined to
find him. With her grief over the losses she has suffered fueling her spirit,
Miranda knows that this time the sacrifices have to be worth it.
Packed
with suspense and deception, Dan Krokos brings Miranda's journey to a
mind-bending conclusion as she risks losing everything in the fight for her
future.”
My Review: False Future is the final book in the False
Memory trilogy. The first book was False Memory and second book was False Sight.
It’s a pretty awesome finale with a ton of twists. This series has so much
action in this series. Lots of sci-fi stuff. Interesting world building and
great characters. The group of characters reminded me of the Flock in Maximum
Ride. I enjoyed all three books. They are short, fast reads and will surely
entertain any teen who’s a sci-fi fan.
In False Future, big stuff is going down.
World-changing events. True Earth, The Director and the Roses/clones are in NYC
looking for someone: Mr. East. Miranda and Rhys pose as clones from a team by
capturing two wearing red suits. They try to find out as much as they can. They
try to fight back, but they may have to come up with a better plan. Miranda
finds out what True Earth really is and who the director really is. Miranda’s
past may not be what she thought, but neither is her future.
This book doesn’t have just one epic battle. There’s
fighting through out it, and spying on the enemy and planning. Miranda finds
that that clones of her friends act like her friends, but are still different. She
also finds Peter later one also pretending to be another clone. There are some
romantic scenes between them. There are also a few deaths of important
characters, much like the previous book. I laughed, cried and was surprised. It’s
everything you can hope for in a finale.
If you haven’t read any of the books, it’s kind of
like Maximum Ride by James Patterson, Altered by Jennifer Rush and a bit of Shatter
Me by Tahereh Mafi. There are clones and genetic engineering and villains with
big egos. But the alternate worlds things is reminiscent of Fringe. Two of the
characters share names with the main character Peter and Olivia, but it’s
Miranda and Peter that are together here. I bet Dan Krokos is a fan of Fringe.
Also books like Unraveled by Elizabeth Norris and Tandem by Anna Jarzab, which
also include parallel worlds.
Cover Art Review: I like the key design in the
computer chip and the colors are cool. Fits with previous books covers.
