#AndThatsAWrap of No Child Of Mine by Olga Gibbs @olgagibbsauthor #NoChildOfMine #OlgaGibbs #ZooloosBookTours

“No Child of Mine” is a story of a father’s journey to save his child from a totalitarian regime, who is in order to bury the truth prepared to exterminate an entire generation.

57th Year of the true leadership of The Ordained Liberating Party; or Year 2273 by the old calendar.
“The Collapse” took millions of lives and most of the country’s farming lands, bringing the surviving population of the island to the brink of starvation.

Out of the aftermath of the chaos and anarchy, a new state had emerged, known as The Federation Britannia, run by the single and unopposed Ordained Liberating Party.
The division of the country’s orphanages for children of “the true citizens” and children of “the enemies of the state” began the clearance of the questionable element, and bloody years of the Age of Cleansing had finished the purge, leaving behind a perfectly obedient electorate that marched every year in the Liberation Day parades, praising the Party’s leadership and following the Party’s every directive.

The rule of the Party is absolute. Its tool of compliance, the State Security Unit, is feared.

Tom isn’t a frightened follower, he is a true believer. He loves the Party with all his heart. He trusts in the Party’s wisdom. The Party had raised him, rewarding his devotion and love with a lucrative engineering job, and after the approval for the Procreation licence, it also granted him a family.

But the unexpected midnight visit by the State Security to his flat, questions asked and blood samples collected, unsettles Tom more than he likes to admit, and the following day, whilst investigating the “black uniforms” interest, Tom witnesses the State Security troops, led by the familiar officer, marshalling the children from his daughter’s nursery, packing them into trucks and taking them into the unknown.

At that moment Tom is forced to make a decision: either to follow the Party directive and to surrender his child into its plenary care or to protect what he loves and run.

But there’s nowhere to run. There’s no escape from the island or from the complete control of the Ordained Liberating Party.

Review by book_mouse2020 (IG), “The second part of the book is tense and I found myself turning pages to find out what happened next.”

Review by Me And My Books, “But within this story, there is something more sinister going on. Not immediately obvious but I knew something wasn’t right. I mean why round up children? They are the future in this story. What followed was something that I didn’t expect, but that I found completely compelling.”

Review by Jessica Belmont, “However, this was a surprising and compelling novel that had elements I wasn’t expecting. There is a sinister atmosphere, and it was very difficult to set the book down because all I could think about was figuring out what was happening.”

Review by Books by Bindu, “I wouldn’t have cared if this book was double the size as I would have wanted to carry on reading it, I was seriously impressed with the writing and the quality of the narrative.”

Review by Hayley’s Book Room, “It certainly leaves you pondering throughout and makes you think just how real the world Olga Gibbs has created could actually come to fruition. It’s a story that sent chills through me after I finished reading.”

27th October

Review by Bonnie Reads And Writes, “The absolute power the government in this story has over its citizens is well portrayed. The fear that one word, thought, or even a facial expression could cause the government to end the characters lives permeates this book. The themes conveyed in this story are about fighting back against tyranny and sacrifice in the face of evil.”

Review by Rajivs Reviews ““No Child of Mine” is a brilliant dystopian high adrenaline novel that I could not put down! Oh my goodness! Where do I begin with this book? The story was just perfect from start to end for this genre.”
