Review by Heather Froeschl

What would happen if the powers of the world told us that the world was truly going to come to an end? What if they told us that there was a way to save our planet and life on earth? What if that meant that you, and every person in your family, had to be stored in suspended animation for thirty years? What if they never intended to re-animate you?

Cerulean Blue is the tale of how Uni-Corp Network is ruling the world, saving it for themselves. It isn't a matter of prestige that allows one to be placed on the real re-animation list. It is a matter of genetic makeup. Whose genes will be best for the world to build on in the future? Could it be the hard working common man who is striving to understand the habits of seals in the Antarctic? Or maybe a genius scientist who bowed down to the power and willingly went under the blue liquid with his wife and son, to be stored in a tube?

There are rebels in this book. Decent, upstanding folks who might not have fit into the gene pool of the future, and others who took a wrong turn when dealing with the United Nations Corporation. They hide out in jungles, they try to survive and they rescue others from the tubes. They might be looking for lost daughters or they might really be trying to save the world from the "saviors" in power.

Cerulean Blue is an interesting "what if" kind of book. At times it rings a little too true to reality for my comfort. Wray Miller had created an alternate reality to the present day, and it is one on which I am glad I can just close the covers of the book on. Her writing is detailed and precise, entertaining and a bit scary!

Cerulean Blue will find you turning pages and anticipating more from this author.
