Obligation by Kolyossi Lemah is a riveting dystopian sci-fi novel set in the ruins of the Old Earth in 2480. The story starts with Ozymandias as he survives a ship crash while in a cage. On her way back to Rockfalls, Woolf finds Ozymandias buried in the sand. Elsewhere, Jar and Bowl are on Old Earth for the first time. They have a specific mission to accomplish, but in the process, they kill every person they meet to map their brains with the Decoder, a very rare device. However, there is an even rarer device called the Encoding Helmet. When Woolf decides to investigate Obligation, she finds no survivors, only corpses. She also discovers that her daughter is among the dead, and guilt overshadows her life. She doesn't know what her child had been doing for the past two years and why she had left her. Woolf is determined to find and punish her daughter's killers, but fate has another plan for her.

Fusing sci-fi and great storytelling, this imaginative dystopian novel will make its mark on every reader. Obligation is a unique, mysterious, and terrifying read about survival, motherhood, death, and human nature in a post-apocalyptic world. It's the first book of a series and is already embarking on a dark, nightmarish journey into the ruins of a violent wasteland and the realm of memories. The creation of an uncanny cast of characters, creepy heart-wrenching prose, and the lack of humanity all contribute to this utterly thought-provoking novel. I highly recommend Obligation by Kolyossi Lemah to fans of dystopian, mystery, and sci-fi novels.

The first installment of the Warrant series, Kolyossi Lemah’s Obligation is a promising start that will captivate readers. The world-building in this book is amazing, owing to the author's meticulous attention to detail and ability to weave together various perspectives into a cohesive narrative. The first few chapters are dedicated to introducing the various characters and their respective settings. At first, it may seem far-fetched how these different characters connect, but as the story unfolds, the puzzle pieces fall into place.

With such a compelling start, it's evident that the rest of the Warrant series will be just as enthralling.
