4.5 out of 5 Stars
Thank you to D.L. Richardson for having me on the tour today!!
Synopsis
World peace came with rules. We’ve just broken them.
In the year 2055, millions of humans were wiped out by a deadly virus known as EMB-II, a bioweapon strain of Ebola that could not be stopped. The need to get off the planet and into space was never stronger. Before the ships could be launched, First Contact was made. A dozen spaceships arrived, carrying twelve Criterion Advocates – peacekeepers of the universe – and thousands of Criterion soldiers, aides, workers, and engineers. To stop the virus getting into space, Earth was placed under quarantine and work begun to save the planet and humanity. Through tough control measures, world peace was achieved.
The year is now 2355. The virus is gone. Humanity is eager to get into space. Yet the Earth is still under quarantine. The Criterion are lying to us. What they don’t know is that we’re lying to them.
Kethryn Miller is an award-winning actress, but nothing will prepare her for the role she’ll take on when a strange woman who shouldn’t be alive turns up in the city, threatening to expose the lies that have kept peace on Earth for 200 years.
My Thoughts
“Damn world peace. It wasn’t worth her happiness.”
D L Richardson has done it again!!! Did I ever doubt her? Not for a minute!!
A sci-fi dystopian novel that spoke to my tin foil hat clad, paranoid soul.
What if nothing was what you thought? Your life, your parents your society… All lies. I’m sure that any readers out there who have been on my blog for a while have heard me mention my favourite move “Southland Tales”, well this novel reminded me of that but on a much bigger scale!
I won’t spoil anything for anyone, but there are well written characters, amazing world building… Or should I say WORLDS building?? 🤔
It’s a book about stepping into another person’s shoes, about the cost of freedom, and who has to pay the price.

Reblogged this on D L Richardson book store and commented:
I want to frame this review. The first review of #scifi “Earth Quarantined” is in and I’m doing a happy dance. It’s so nerve wracking when you send your book out to the world and you have no idea if people will love it or hate it.

Thank you so much for hosting my book. And thanks for the lovely review. Yours is the first review of this book. It’s always nerve wracking when I send a book out and I don’t know if people will like it. You’ve made me very happy today, so I can’t wait to hear your exciting news.
Best,
D L
