On a settlement planet far into the future the worldwide economic crash has turned New Stockton into a city broken by political corruption and pervasive organized crime. Scotland Murrow’s journalist father has gone missing while investigating a twelve year old murder case. The victim was found with an encrypted file, known as the Nostradamus Code, imbedded in his thumbnail leading Scotland to believe that the file contains the secret to his father’s fate. Aided by his reformed junkie friend and a journalist who may have her own secret agenda Scotland scours the city’s seedy underbelly, traverses the unchartered outlands and breaches a fortified Citadel as he peels away layer upon layer of the Nostradamus Code to confront his biggest fears and uncover a plot to bring down the most powerful man on the planet.
Review
I truly enjoyed this Sci-Fi world. I'm not going to lie, it took me a bit to get into this one and I was a bit confused about where the author was going with the story in the beginning, but once it started to unfold, I was in.
P. Temple Hickey has a real talent for bringing to life characters that a reader just connects with and roots for from the very beginning.
The journey of Scotland was very fun to read about.
Hickey has done a great job of bringing something new to the YA Sci-Fi world. The plot is very well written and keeps the reader flipping pages.
I liked the flow of the novel overall once it got moving. Several moments throughout surprised me!
