2024 American Fiction Awards Winner in multiple categories, including Best New Fiction, Political Thriller, and Science Fiction

Alexandra Tashen is a brilliant student, adoring daughter, merry wit, and exuberant prankster. After a blissful childhood on a Texas ranch, she learns the truth: She is a refusé, an illegal refugee smuggled into the Allied Nations as an infant. Everyone from her birth region carries a harmless but detectable bit of viral DNA from a flu vaccine. If detected by the rapid genetic testing at security screens, Alex will be returned to the Federation and a likely death. Her adoptive father developed a gene therapy to mask her g-marker, but it is not fully effective. Every g-screen presents a nerve-racking one-in-ten chance of getting caught.

When her father goes missing, Alex abandons her cloistered academic life in San Francisco for a globe-trotting Commission in a desperate race to warn him of a trap that will destroy them both. As Alex dodges g-screens on her precarious and often-hilarious adventure, a love triangle develops between her and two men: Eric Burton, a commanding and disgraced intelligence officer, and his blood brother, Strav Beki, a charismatic and dangerously unhinged diplomat. Betrayals mount and secrets unravel, building to the most confounding choices that people can face—choices between love, family loyalty, and moral obligation.

 

Book Dream Cast

The three main characters in the novel (and the love triangle!) are complicated, passionate, and each struggling with a dangerous secret.

 

Alexandra Tashen (23) is all Texan, of mixed Indian-Swedish ancestry, a prodigy academic, with dark hair, golden skin, and startling light eyes. She is gregarious, a comic, mischievous, empathetic; also restless, uncoordinated, absent-minded, unworldly, and insatiably curious. After Alex learns the truth of her background, she struggles to adapt to a life of hiding in the open, her innate merry, affectionate personality in constant conflict with the distrust, limitations and loneliness required to survive. Dream casting: Anya Chalotra (from Witcher).

 

Eric Burton (29) is a California red-headed physical giant and commanding CyberIntelligence Officer with a lurking sense of humor, analytical, principled (with sex-driven blind spots), taciturn, a fine artist with a long-fuse powder keg temper. Orphaned young, he is emotionally dependent on Strav (his younger adoptive brother). Eric assaulted another officer for reasons he refused to explain, and was court-martialed. His drive to protect his family comes into painful conflict with his personal and professional integrity. Dream casting: Alexander Ludwig (from Vikings).

 

Strav Beki (27) is Mongolian, Eurasian, a charismatic, polyglot diplomat who straddles the modern world and traditional Khanate steppe. He is a daredevil athlete, optimistic and resilient, stubborn, emotional, hyperarticulate and literary, religious, conservative, morally flexible but grounded by his sworn-brother Eric. A brutally failed hostage rescue a year earlier left Strav raging inside, guilty, ashamed, reckless and destructive. He fears turning into a monster. Dream casting: Charles Melton (from May-December).
