Synopsis

Today's the day everything changes.

Jamal Lawson just wanted to be a part of something. As an aspiring journalist, he packs up his camera and heads to Baltimore to document a rally protesting police brutality after another Black man is murdered.

But before the protest even begins, the city implements a new safety protocol: the Dome. The Dome surrounds the city, forcing those inside it to subscribe to a total militarized shutdown. No one can get in, and no one can get out.

Alone in a strange place, Jamal doesn’t know where to turn … until he meets hacker Marco, who knows more than he lets on, and Catherine, an AWOL basic training graduate, whose parents helped build the initial plans for the Dome.

As unrest in Baltimore grows throughout the days-long lockdown, Jamal, Marco, and Catherine take the fight directly to the chief of police. But the city is corrupt from the inside out, and it’s going to take everything they have to survive.

Goodreads review by Quill&Queer on April 07, 2022

The bleakest, most realistic dystopian novel I have read, this story is one that I could see becoming reality within a few years, and balances the more futuristic elements with events that we already recognise - Black Lives Matter protests, violent cops and corrupt Governments. I loved that this book......more

Goodreads review by kate on February 25, 2022

Fast paced, action packed, powerful and brilliantly self aware. The intensity of this book started from page one and continued to build until the last. I really enjoyed Kosoko Jackson’s easy to read and punchy writing style and whilst I do wish the plot and chat ages had been a little more developed......more

Goodreads review by Paula on January 10, 2022

Stilted dialogue, a whole lot of plot holes, and if you’re going to use a real city as your setting I feel like you should bother to get the geography, the street names, building types, or the character at least a little bit right.......more
