I, Cassandra
Honorable Mention - Writer's Digest 9th Annual Self-Published e-Book Awards 2021
2086. In a world divided between a protected zone for the superrich and the billions left to survive in a dying world, Cassandra’s ability to alter reality marks her as a valuable asset to Global Command. Lost in a terrorist attack to the United Freedom Fighters, she is discovered in the seedy underworld of London by an elite soldier who does not learn who she is until far too late, and he too becomes an asset owned by faceless powers.
Resurrected as a near immortal machine, his first mission is to extract her from London and return her to the ones intent to use her gift to give the rich a second chance at life in a new world.
As the world around them collapses from the greed of humanity, he fights to protect the one he loves, to save her from what is to come, and to give her a second chance . . . no matter the cost or how long he has to wait.
"Stunning SF on a mythic scale..." — Kirkus Reviews
"I, Cassandra is a stunningly innovative sci-fi novel, with just the right mix of romantic dystopia to send it over the edge." — The BookLife Prize Critic's Review
“The theme of apocalyptic climate change is very current, and the late 21st century world is a believable extrapolation of our current situation. While the concept of a cybernetic organism and a personality “sleeved” into a body isn’t new, it’s handled with a unique perspective here, and the scale of the story elevates it to a new level.” — Judge, 9th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published E-Book Awards
“E.A. Carter is already a master of epic fantasy romance, and she does not disappoint in her sci-fi debut. Carter balances a gritty apocalyptic setting with emotive conflict — it’s tragic yet hopeful, and beautifully written.”— Carly Vair, Goodreads ARC review
