Can you imagine living in a society that dictates everything? From the colour of the clothes you wear to the time of day you get out of bed. Transportation that takes you to exactly where you need to go and shopping in a store that only provides what you require, no more no less. To Selah Richards and her parents and friends this was the norm. The music that Selah loves so much has no lyrics and the game of football that Brad her longtime friend enjoys is a non -contact sport. This may seem to many to be a nightmare situation but with law and order and everyone equal it appears to be working well.
Selah Richards is a talented teenager who loves to sing. Her friend and soon to be boyfriend Brad Nelson loves the game of football. Both are equally as good at what they do. Popular at school, life seems to be progressing well for these two teens. That is until families start to disappear. Over hearing a conversation and observing some strange behavior Selah and Brad are thrown into a world of chaos and disruption, something neither one of them is used to.
Selah’s father works for the state transport system and has a lot on his hands when transporters start to go missing without any explanation. Selah’s mother works for the knowledge bank, this is the organization that monitors everyone and knows exactly where each person is at any given time. (Big brother is watching!) Both her parents are perplexed at certain events and Selah and Brad take it upon themselves to investigate. Can it be possible the perfect, well organized society they live in is not so perfect after all?
With their curiosity peaked and knowledge they have acquired Selah and Brad go in search of answers. In doing so they uncover a truth that rips their world apart.
Plymouth Discovery is a story based like so many popular books on the theory of Utopia but with a twist. Generally the book is very well written with excellent character description and an easy to follow storyline. I would say that the book should be aimed at the younger reader with the age range about 14 to 18. However as I am a little bit older than this range I can say that it was an enjoyable read. I will give this book 3 out of 4 stars, only dropping a star because of my age! It does have the potential for a sequel and can only hope the author decides to write one, I would read it.
