Book Overview
Regency College senior Julian Brehm's uneventful student life is derailed when he falls for Nina Rinaldi, a beautiful young revolutionary engaged in political activism against the authoritarian regime that rules the country and wages a deceitful, distracting war. Julian's love for -- and moral alliance to -- Nina eventually leads him into a vast undercity beneath the metropolis. Then, east by train and into the war zone itself, where mortal danger in that expanding cemetery of millions threatens Julian's life; what he witnesses will alter how he perceives the Republic and ultimately his fate within it.
Julian's adventure can be seen as our own, a world of vacillating morality and unceasing violence. Apathy and passion. Fear and courage of purpose. Julian's is a hero's journey into the dark unknown. A love story, which extends in many directions. A war novel of incredible scope and horror. A suspenseful mystery novel with a moral puzzle at its core. And a coming-of-age tale of a young man seeing the world he was born into, more dangerous and more beautiful than he could have ever imagined. Metropolis is a meditation on the meaning of virtue and goodness in the face of the most monstrous crimes. It could just as easily be the story of us.

Needs to be more well-known!
Published by Abby , 2 years ago
This book is AMAZING! One of my favorites now. I want to know why more people haven’t read this and I need to get more people to read it ASAP. I usually have a hard time concentrating on print copies of books and prefer audiobooks, but I looked forward to picking this up and getting lost in it every night. It’s a beautiful story of love, war, and even fantasy in this kind of steampunk/dystopian world. Everyone needs to read this.
