I guess that should be considered a plus. At first I did like the main character and I found her meeting and subsequent relationship with Ulysses engrossing, however I thought the premise of the city-state a bit hard to take, especially her commitment to science in the face of this big brother-ish corporation. Then there was "Mother". So was this a sci-fi wrapped up in a dystopian romance? It got a bit weird for me anyway and l found myself doing a bit of eye-rolling at the end with the crazy death-row escape. It had promise but a lot of extraneous characters and weird action derailed it for me. ( )Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This is a fast paced fantastic read! Based on Dr Catrina, a scientist; who moved to a small town in Cochtonville; embarking on a new job role, at a huge cooperation..

Here's the story about the fictional city-state of Cochtonville where a single agricultural company named Cochton Enterprise has a monopoly on nearly every business.The plot hovers around Catrine, a young scientist hired by Cochton Enterprise, who with the help of chance falls in love to a shady bartender named Ulysses. This dubious person turns out to be an outlaw printing condoms - forbidden by Cochton laws in order to raise birth rates. Everything is oppressive in Cochtonville. And armed goons are watching every step of its citizens. Catrine and Ulysses got caught in their love making and in order to avoid heavy punishment accept a marriage on the spot. Now Catrine explores the 'missing half' of herself and finds sympathy for the motives of her groom's illegal actions too. The story goes wild when Cochton Enterprise creates a chemical intended to boost hog production. A molecule with a side effect: All of a sudden every male person in Cochtonville is no longer able to have an erection! Is there a solution for this dismal town? Of course not. But true passion and love for science come up with a way out for freedom. How? Well, enjoy reading like me! aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieUnstable States (1)
First in the electrifying series set in "a dystopian future that feels relatable and real . . . Wonderfully entertaining" (InD'tale). When Catrina moves to Cochtonville to work as a chemist for Cochton Enterprises, she has no idea how dangerous her life is about to become. A chance meeting with Ulysses, owner of the Union Station bar, plunges her into a world of illegal condoms, vibrators, and art. As their loneliness draws them together, they become allies in what will become the fight of their lives in the sexually repressive and culturally backward dystopia. Catrina's invention, No Regrets--a scanner to test for pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections--brings increased scrutiny from the town's Vice Patrol, made worse by an ambitious new agent who hangs around Union Station and takes up with Ulysses's vindictive ex. Catrina's relationship with Ulysses and her company's new products put them both in peril as she begins to understand the dark side of her employer, society, and science without humanity. But science is all she'll have to spare the men of Cochtonville a mortifying fate and to save the life of Ulysses. If you like Megan Lynch, Jack Hunt, Robert J. Crane, James D. Prescott, and Grace Hamilton, you'll love this unique and fun dystopian adventure! Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
