About the Book

Life is perfect on corporate-owned planet Victoria-if you don't mind the ubiquitous drones, cameras, and sensors. Social engineer Mia Julian claims she doesn't, but thirty-six years of concealing a valuable ability from the seamless surveillance system has resulted in shallow friendships, unsatisfying one-night stands, and an overdependence on recreational drugs. When she's unjustly fired and blacklisted by her boss, Mia's carefully constructed life begins to crumble. Desperate for credits, she takes a menial position at a sketchy security firm-and discovers she isn't the only one with a secret. The motley team of Earth ex-pats shouldn't have made it through Victoria's rigorous screening process, and their anxious clients shouldn't need protection in a place that promises zero crime. A dark side of her peaceful world is soon revealed-one she's been taught doesn't exist. As facades fall away, Mia must race to uncover the truth about her city and herself if she wants to survive a planet and society that seem to want her dead.

About the Author :
M. Luke McDonell is a San Francisco-based science fiction writer and visual designer. Her five-minutes-into-the-future fiction explores the effects of emerging technology on individuals and society.

In addition to writing, she is the creative director at Soma FM, an award-winning, commercial-free internet radio station.

Review :
"Mia has a rare gift that is both her strength and her weakness as she navigates life in her post-corporate existence on her native planet of Victoria. McDonell's world building feels fully realized, both with its familiarity and its vision of the future. A little taste of noir, laced with corporate espionage makes for an exciting journey that's thought provoking and compelling. A great read!" L. David "A thought-provoking and thrilling read-Six combines humanity's greatest hopes and fears to create an immersive, utterly plausible yet uniquely imaginative world and society that are the backdrop of an engrossing story. This corporate sci-fi thriller will leave you hungry for more and missing its true-to-life characters as if they were dear friends gone off-planet." Adriana Kantcheva, author of speculative fiction "Six is set in a rich, high-tech, carefully-controlled, planet-wide 'gated community, ' and explores the dark side of utopia where affluence and perfect order comes at a price. Equal parts speculative adventure, dark social satire, and high-tech survival tale, it's a journey that questions who gets to be part of society and what it costs once you see the truth." R. Hodge "Wonderfully imaginative." Peter Delacorte, author of Time on My Hands
