Delete by Kim Curran Blog Tour

Smart, sharp science fiction, not only for teenagers.

The country is at war. Beset by enemies within and without. And all because of the decisions changed by one boy, Scott Tyler. In this ravaged alternative reality, Scott hardly recognises himself. He’s a war hero, a leader of a unit of Shifters and maybe the only one who can prevent the country’s frail defences from crumbling.

But all Scott wants to do is find a way back to the world he knew, without losing the girl he loves.

With every Shift he makes, Scott edges closer towards oblivion. With no one to trust – not even himself – how much is he willing to risk to get home?

This is the third in the Shifter trilogy by Kim Curran, and if you haven’t come across these, I recommend you do start at the beginning or you’re doing yourself out of a treat. Kim writes tight SF adventure with characters that seem well rounded from the moment you meet them. And although versions of reality snap to and fro as you’re going (check the blurb!) the characters stay reasonably constant.

This is how I like my SF. Fast, a little funny, personal with a good story. Scott is a great character, and I’ve been rooting for him from the beginning. Will it all work out? Well, that would be telling 😉 (and we all know that I don’t do spoilers) but I really don’t think you’ll regret getting stuck into these books.

And, as part of the blog tour, there’s a giveaway to win all three books being hosted across all the blogs taking part – see the rafflecopter widget here.
