Hi all! I'm seeking beta readers for my upcoming sci-fi thriller, Atticus. If interested, just let me know and I can send a PDF along. All I ask is your candid feedback and maybe a review when the book comes out, if you're so inclined. Here's the "back of the cover" blurb:
ATTICUS
WITHIN ONE MAN’S PAST LIES THE WHOLE WORLD’S FUTURE
Suspended for negotiating with an armed lunatic, rookie cop Marti Coldwater is feeling lost and unappreciated. But her day is about to get a whole lot worse when her car is run off the road by a strange, falling military craft and she rescues the lone passenger—a young British amnesiac who thinks it’s 1944.
Soon, she and her newfound companion are relentlessly pursued by government agents, a sinister Nordic assassin, and a race of Earth-dwelling extra-terrestrials.
When she uncovers a plot threatening the entire planet, her only hope of saving the world is to try to recover the memories of a man who may just want her dead—the man who calls himself Atticus.
In this riveting sci-fi thriller from J.B. Manas, co-author of The Kronos Interference, stakes and tension are high as a stranger arrives with no memory and a deadly secret that could wipe out the entire human race. The Kronos Interference earned a starred review from Kirkus Reviews, who named it to their Best of 2012, calling the book “impressively original” and a “tour de force.” Written along the same vein, Atticus is fast-paced fiction that blends history, science, adventure, and spellbinding mystery into a fun, twisty thrill-ride.
