Description
In a small religious community rocked by a spree of shocking murders, Detectives Salvi Brentt and Mitch Grenville find themselves surrounded by suspects. The Children of Christ have a tight grip on
their people, and the Solme Complex neurally edit violent criminals - Subjugates - into placid servants called Serenes. In a town where purity and sin, temptation and repression live side by side, everyone has a motive. But as the bodies mount up, the frustrated detectives begin to crack under the pressure: their demons come to light, and who knows where the blurred line between man and
monster truly lies.

Reviews / Votes
"Part traditional police procedural, part exploration of redemption and the possibility of change, The Subjugate cleverly and apparently effortlessly builds a future world that is both engaging and utterly terrifying." "An intelligent, believable future wrapped around an intriguing mystery." "The Wire meets Blade Runner in this enthralling near-future crime thriller." "This hard-boiled near-future SF thriller moves quickly and presents some thought-provoking ideas." "A compelling seat-of-the-pants murder mystery and a fascinating inquiry into good and evil."More details
