I have long been a fan of S.K. White’s lush, vivid scifi and romance! (To read more about her, click here: https://virginiawallace.com/2021/12/08/all-gone-by-s-k-white-a-review-and-author-interview/ )
I had the honor of being able to read Bounce … Into the Unknown before it was released, and wow … just fuckin’ WOW, y’all! Check it out!
BLURB
What if you found yourself in a different reality… same face, but different you? Whitney Ann Rhodes bounces into the alternate realities of Whit and Annie. Can she navigate Whit’s complicated and volatile life or survive Annie’s dystopian world living under the rule of a global authoritarian leader and his military regime? Will she resist or comply? Afterward, can Whitney return to her world and face what lies ahead?
MY REVIEW
There are very few authors who do science fiction as well as S.K. White …
I’ve been a fan ever since the epic All Gone, and Bounce does NOT disappoint! It’s interesting that the world-building and technical jargon almost seem incidental. The real meat of the story—the thought-provoking part—is the emotional entanglements and conflicts that plague Whit/Whitney’s constant shifts between alternate realities.
It really does beg the question: What makes a person? Is it nature, nurture, or both? Whitney is a nice young woman from a good family. She treats people with gentleness and respect. Her doppelganger Whit, however, is the product of an alcoholic home and constant sexual abuse. While Whitney is gentle and kind, Whit is more or less a sociopath.
The setting begins on a more or less normal note, but as Whitney’s alternate lives begin to come unraveled, so does the world around her as she ‘bounces’ between societies upended by civil unrest and totalitarian governments.
Bounce is a masterfully told tale that is one part sci-fi, one part melodrama … and all heart. Five stars!
So, yep, that ’bout says it all! Click here to buy: https://www.amazon.com/Bounce-Trilogy-Book-I-ebook/dp/B0CX3VB4FQ
