Of Abrasion by S.J. Lee is a pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller set in a world on the brink of destruction. Combat medic Miriam Tanner stumbles upon the severed arm of the woman she once loved. From there, she’s thrust into the heart of a war between humanity and the genetically engineered Altered. As the Apostates, a faction of Altered supremacists, rise to power, Miriam and her team must take desperate measures to prevent the annihilation of humankind. But as the battle intensifies, she finds herself questioning everything: her loyalty, her past, and even her own humanity. S.J. Lee delivers a gripping, action-packed novel filled with complex characters, intense emotions, and a chilling vision of the future.
Author S.J. Lee has a knack for pacing that immediately sets the scene for a dangerously good story, and from the opening pages, I could already tell I was in for a dark, gripping, and action-packed sci-fi ride that refused to let go until the bitter end. Fortunately, I was right about this, but there’s also a fantastic blending of those thrilling combat scenes with deep, thought-provoking storytelling that homes in on the characters and their innermost fears and motivations. Miriam is a raw and vulnerable protagonist with a lot on her plate, and her complex affections and powerful commitment to her cause make her a heroine you won’t soon forget. This is spurred on by Lee’s descriptive powers and narrative confidence, making tiny details stand out at significant emotional moments. This intense and immersive read explores the fine line between survival and morality from a relatable perspective despite the otherworldly setting. Overall, I highly recommend Of Abrasion for sci-fi and dystopian thriller fans as a rich and unmissable read.
