Follow on Google News | Freedom's Prisoners cover revealed and publication date confirmedThird book announced in dystopian YA trilogy comparable to The Hunger Games and Divergent
By: Elsewhen Press A dark undercurrent runs through these books: the enforcement of conformity through fear, the fostering of distorted and damaging attitudes towards forbidden love, manipulation of appearance and even the definition of beauty. But life outside the Citidomes is not without problems and the books explore the burden of leadership, family loyalties and whether it is possible to justify the sacrifice of human lives for the greater good. Freedom's Prisoners examines betrayal, guilt, hope and endurance as the rebels undertake their most ambitious mission yet - to see if there is anyone in the world beyond the shores of State Eleven who cares enough to help. As with Forbidden Alliance, the cover artwork for Freedom's Prisoners was produced by talented Sheffield-based artist Alex Storer. When she saw Alex's cover design for the first time Katrina said "I love it... I had no clear idea of exactly what the RotorFighters looked like, but your vision seems perfect." In reviews the trilogy has been favourably compared to Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games and Veronica Roth's Divergent trilogies, while others have been reminded of Orwell's 1984, Huxley's Brave New World and Nolan and Johnson's Logan's Run. Future Perfect was described as "one of the best modern YA sci-fi novels ever written" by RisingShadow. Katrina Mountfort's Freedom's Prisoners, the final book of the Blueprint Trilogy will be published in digital formats on the 9th September and launched in paperback at Novacon in November in Nottingham. Notes for Editors About Katrina Mountfort Katrina Mountfort was born in Leeds. After a degree in Biochemistry and a PhD in Food Science, she started work as a scientist. Since then, she's had a varied career. Her philosophy of life is that we only regret the things we don't try, and she's been a homeopath, performed forensic science research and currently works as a freelance medical writer. She now lives in Saffron Walden with her husband and two dogs. When she hit forty, she decided it was time to fulfil her childhood dream of writing a novel. Future Perfect was her debut novel and the first book in the Blueprint trilogy. Freedom's Prisoners is the third and concluding book of the trilogy. About Alex Storer Alex Storer is a graphic designer, artist/illustrator and musician from Sheffield, UK. The advent of pixel art and the vibrant graphics of the Commodore Amiga in the early 1990s was a turning point for Alex, giving him his first taste of digital artwork, leading to a career in graphic design. However, a lifelong interest in science fiction came full circle in 2010 when Alex began producing his own brand of science fiction artwork. Taking influence from classic science fiction and the space art greats of the 1970s and 80s, his work pays homage to yesterday's visions of tomorrow yet remains contemporary and distinctive in style. In 2012, Alex was invited to join the Initiative for Interstellar Studies as an honorary musician and artist. In 2015 Elsewhen Press commissioned Alex to produce the cover art for Forbidden Alliance, the second book in Katrina's Blueprint trilogy. Now in 2016 he has produced the cover art for Freedom's Prisoners. About Elsewhen Press Elsewhen Press is an independent publisher of Speculative Fiction.
