by William Bahl

But when a cunning con artist, Kysta, strips him of the Siphon—and his dignity—Nate’s simple job spirals into a lethal game of shifting allegiances.Kysta, revealed as the brilliant double-age...
From our reviewers
So, the book starts with Nate. He is on this big, important mission to a super weird and mysterious place called Ipsulor. He is carrying this thing called the Siphon. Sounds really important, right? It is. Almost as soon as he gets there, this woman, Kysta, plays him. Tricks him, robs him blindand poof! She is gone. So it turns out she is part of some nasty gang. I really did feel for Nate right there. Can you imagine? You are in a strange new world, and bam, you are left with nothing, totally confused and probably scared out of your wits. Take my word for it, you will really feel for the guy. Now, Nate gets totally cleaned out and does not even have clothes, and Jeek finds him in some alley and helps him, no questions asked. He gives Nate water, food, and something to wear, even though Nates a complete stranger. It just makes you believe in good people, you know? And Jeek was not pushy; he did not try to pry into Nates business. He just wanted to talk, to have some company. That part really makes you feel safe and cozy. The author really knows how to develop depth in a character. The way he spoke was so calm and wise, and you could just tell he truly cared. My absolute favorite bit that made me smile was when Jeek tells Nate, You owe me conversation and company. That is all. Wow. In a world that seems so harsh and dangerous, that little sentence was like a warm hug. It showed that not everyone in this crazy place is selfish or out to get you. In Ipsulor, which sounds terrifying, Jeek was like this little island of safety and kindness. Honestly, if I were ever stranded somewhere like that, I would be praying to find someone like Jeek. The character was crafted so pure, kind, and honest and just made the whole story feel so much more human, and it really felt like he gave Nate a reason to keep fighting, to not just give up. I am honestly looking forward to whatever the author writes next because of how much I was invested in this story. I would recommend it to any and everyone, especially if you fancy a nice, cozy-feeling book.
