Karma Reads: The Regional Office is Under Attack! by Manuel Gonzales

Words, words, words

Two Waltonens agree: this book is a fast, enjoyable read.

Gonzales lets you experience the attack of the Regional Office through two points of view–the attackers and the ones being attacked. In doing so, he challenges our traditional action, superhero, and scifi conventions.

Is the agency that recruits assassins good? Or are those who resist good? What does everyone know and when? If you don’t know what your agency really does, are you culpable? Is extra-judicial justice by those with certain powers or talent ever justified? What if the other recruits don’t you? If your whole life is ruled by a secret agency, what happens when you date (within that agency)? And then what happens when the relationship sours?

The narrating female voices are distinct, dangerous, and fun.
