The Death Detail (The Securus Trilogy Book 1) by Anthony Maldonado - Promo

Audience: 

Fans of  Post Apocalyptic/ Science Fiction & Fantasy / Medical Fiction / Books. 

It begins in Securus, a subterranean facility originally built to protect an elite group of people in case of nuclear war. When a biological weapon known as The Agent was released, Securus was retrofitted to protect from the devastating plague that ensued. It was the only facility prepared in time, leaving its inhabitants as the last survivors on Earth.

There is a Leadership caste that oversees the colony and general workers that maintain it. The story follows the first-person view of Kagen Meldon, a 26 year-old Healer from the worker class. While out in an adjoining cave system, one of his closest friends is murdered. Kagen is unsure of what really happened, but he does know the truth is being covered up. The danger this puts him in becomes all too real when Leadership assigns Kagen to a position on what the workers call the Death Detail. It is a deadly task, especially since it involves going to the surface where the threat of The Agent is ever-present. If Kagen is ever to discover the secret the conspirators are trying to hide, he must first find a way to survive the Death Detail.

Mini Interview:

BBB Q1: I’ve read the synopsis of your book. I’m intrigued. What inspired you to write this book?

A. Maldonado: The inspiration for the book started with the simple desire to write. From there it has continued to grow. The original idea was just that, an idea. I had no clue of what the story would really be or what it would become. All I had was the setting and how I wanted the book to end. From there the story began to grow. The more it did, the more I realized there was more story to tell. With that, the trilogy developed.

BBBQ2: I see that The Death Details is a dystopian mystery, which tends to be futuristic in nature. Can you give us an idea of what to expect?

A. Maldonado: As far as the story itself, it is really hard for me to classify it in a traditional category. The overlying theme is dystopian and though it has elements of science fiction, it keeps with more of a realistic feel.  I have borrowed from my experience as an Emergency Medicine physician to create unique twists and elements within the story.

    If you enjoy action, mystery, and intelligent characters that use creative ways to fight an oppressive institution, I encourage you to read The Death Detail. Download a free excerpt or take advantage of the sale and buy my e-book for $0.99 through Sunday, March 22^nd.

BBB: I am a fan of dystopian novels and movies, so I’m looking forward to reading The Death Details. I will be purchasing a copy. I think Bibliophile Book Bites viewers should too.
