Synopsis

The Dark Intercept by Julia Keller is the beginning of a “riveting” (Emmy Laybourne) science fiction adventure that challenges the voluntary surrender of liberties for the perception of safety.When the state controls your emotions, how hard will you fight to feel free?In a radiant world of endless summer, the Intercept keeps the peace. Violet Crowley, the sixteen-year-old daughter of New Earth’s Founding Father, has spent her life in comfort and safety. Her days are easy thanks to the Intercept, a crime-prevention device that monitors emotion. But when her long-time crush, Danny Mayhew, gets into a dangerous altercation on Old Earth, Violet launches a secret investigation to find out what he's hiding. An investigation that will lead her to question everything she's ever known about Danny, her father, and the power of the Intercept.Much like the device itself, The Dark Intercept will get under your skin.The Dark Intercept is a Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) Excellence in Children’s and Young Adult Science Fiction Notable List selection!

Goodreads review by Morris on August 21, 2018

"The Dark Intercept" was an ok science fiction novel that I feel could have been much better had it been shorter. There were too many info dumps that, instead of clarifying things, made it all seem muddled. Hopefully the second in the series will keep the technology explanations more succinct. I'm w......more
