Amazon Written Review:
"Outlier Revolutions is a thrilling adventure about Dry, a female pilot of a hovercraft, who transports goods between three settlements in the future (Agragius, an agricultural community with artificial sunlight and rain, Mechanica, a machine-technology driven urban area, and Specus, a place that mines precious minerals) covered by protective domes after a catastrophic end-of-world event. When civil war breaks out, Dry must rely on her wits to save her son, John, protect outliers, humans who have evolved special mental telepathy powers, and assist the insurgents who want to bring freedom and democracy to the people. Dr. Grove uses his sophisticated writing ability that includes multiple viewpoints, unreliable narrators, and numerous plot twists to bring us this story of resistance."
Goodreads Review:
"I was pulled into this one from the start. As I read I needed to know more about the main character and what made her tick. The plot twists were there to grab me. It was real and gritty."
"Enjoyed reading the book."
"I always look forward to Dr. Grove's next work, and this was his best yet. Full of unexpected twists and the expected thoughtful exploration of the premise."
" '. . . Promotions are often politically based. Maybe you should start working on your hobbies. Who knows, if you're lucky, those hobbies will become your main source of income one day...' I'd love for this to be true for Dr. Dale A. Grove! We'd all be lucky if it were."
