The Machine (James Smythe)

I read this book a while back after reading The Alex Crow, and it was a wild ride.

It's a fairly new dystopian novel about a young woman named Beth, living alone in post climate change London. Beth's husband was a soldier, and is still alive, but due to a controversial process known simply as "the machine" that promised to take away all of his traumatic memories, he is practically comatose.

But Beth still holds out hope, and places this hope in the very process that took away her husband in the first place.

This book is fast paced and well written, with a bizarre and incredibly unsettling plot. I didn't enjoy this book very much, but it certainly kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it, and fans of sci fi and thriller books will love it.

Just a heads up: The storyline of this book is dark and somewhat disturbing, and it contains some mature content.
