title: Lightless (The Lightless Trilogy)
author:  C.A. Higgins 
description: Gripping . . . sci-fi flavored with a hint of thriller.<b>New York <i>Daily News</i></b><br /> <i></i><br /> [A] measured, lovely science-fiction debut [that is] more psychological thriller . . . contained, disciplined, tense . . . The plot is compulsive. . . . <i>Lightless</i> is the first of a planned series, and you cant help looking forward to learning whats next.<b><i>The New York Times</i></b><br /><br /><i>Lightless</i> is full of suspense and fun as hell to read.<b><i>BuzzFeed</i></b><br /><br />Absolutely brilliant . . . This is science fiction as it is meant to be done: scientific concepts wedded to and built upon human ideals.<b>Seanan McGuire, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of the October Daye series<br /></b><br />The stakes in this story are highlife and death, rebellion and betrayaland debut novelist Higgins continually ratchets up the tension. . . . A suspenseful, emotional story that asks plenty of big questions about identity and freedom, this is a debut not to be missed.<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)<br /></b><br />A taut, suspenseful read.<b><i>Tech Times<br /></i></b><br /><i>Lightless </i>is an exercise in lighting a very slow fuse and building the tension to an unbearable pitch while making us guess just how apocalyptic the ultimate explosion will be. . . . It is a high-wire act, a wonderment, and a fine accomplishment from a name well be seeing again.<b><i>Sci Fi</i></b>
