Treason,
betrayal, and heartbreak.
A lot can happen to a girl between her first kiss and her first kill.
It’s 100 years since the Genetic
Integrity Act was passed and America closed its borders to prevent genetic
contamination. Now only the enemy, dysgenic Deviants, remain beyond the heavily
guarded border. The Department of Evolution carefully guides the creation of
each generation and deviations from the divine plan are not permitted.
When 16-year-old Jess begins to show
signs of deviance she enlists in the Special Forces, with her best friend Jay,
in a desperate bid to evade detection by the Devotees. Jess is good with data,
not so good with a knife. So when the handsome and secretive Sergeant Matt
Anderson selects her for his Black Ops squad, Jess is determined to figure out
why.
As her deviance continues to change
her, Jess is forced to decide who to trust with her deadly secret. Jess needs
to know what’s really out there, in the Deviant wasteland over the border, if
she has any hope of making it to her 17th birthday. Because if the enemy
doesn’t kill her first, the Department of Evolution probably will.

Author Bio:
Deborah
Rix’s favourite
position for reading a book is head almost hanging off the couch and feet up in
the air with legs against the back of the couch. She’s been reading too much
from Scientific American for research and ideas and needs to get back to some
fiction. She has a long standing love of science fiction, some of
her favourite authors include William Gibson, Philip K Dick, Kurt Vonnegut Jr,
Douglas Adams, Iain M Banks. A bit old school.
Deborah
enjoyed a successful career in entertainment publicity, live music promotion
and event management. Which means she slogged through muddy fields for music
festivals, was crammed into concert halls with too many sweaty teenage boys and
got to go to Tuktoyaktuk (that’s in the Arctic Circle) for a Metallica concert.
She lives with her family in Toronto, Canada, where she is the proprietor of The
Lucky Penny, a neighborhood joint in Trinity-Bellwoods.
External
Forces is her first novel.
