"I found that with this book, you run the full gambit of emotions. You feel sorrow for the pain and suffering they are going through. You have anger with how the aliens are treating the humans. You feel pride in how the humans start to figure out what is going on and how to work together. Maybe this is what I wasn’t prepared for. I don’t know still. But I can tell you, be prepared for one helluva adventure with The Sity.”
"The Sity is a gripping read that kept me up all night because I couldn't put it down. Geist created a fascinating world that together with the story reaches beyond the sci-fi genre and deeper into politics and the human condition. The characters are well developed and unexpected. I like books that really explore their characters and don't sacrifice them to a fast paced plot. This book has both elements and is an excellent read! Can't wait for the next installment."
"The Sity is now my all time favorite Sci-Fi thriller! The story behind “The Sity’ is not like anything you have ever read, and if you don’t get chills reading it, I don’t want to know what will. I dreamed about the creepy circus like scenes for days. I loved Curran Geist’s writing and the world in which he created. I can’t wait to see what else he can come up with. This book is dark and a bit gory at times, so I wouldn’t recommend it to the squeamish. But if you enjoy a good Sci-Fi, thriller then definitely try this one."
"This was like nothing I've ever read before! Hands down one of the best novels in its genre. The world that Geist has created felt so real and the characters so unforgettable that you have no choice but to become obsessed with the Sity and its inhabitants. I cannot wait to read more!!!"
"The Sity is an action packed, thought provoking work that is sure to keep you guessing. Just when you think you have it all figured out, another unexpected twist is thrown into the plot. The characters are complex and well developed. The reader gets a real sense of being inside the minds of the characters. It is a satisfying read that will leave you with many philosophical questions to ponder as you wait for the sequel. Also, the novel effortlessly weaves social commentary into the fabric of the storyline, character interactions, and setting elements.. An intense, multi faceted read!"
"Sci-Fi lovers grab your Kindles, order a paperback, either way don't miss your chance to get your copy of The Sity, and be ready for a thrilling, gory, never let you go story. Curran has developed quite the original and grasping dystopian story. Curran takes a new approach to developing characters and I found myself enjoying all the different approaches of seeing into the characters past, dreams, thoughts, and fears. The Sity is an action packed, twist of a novel that you will not want to miss. I'm looking forward to the next installment by Curran."
"I think what I appreciated most about "The Sity" was it's ability to be completely modern and relevant while still giving a nod toward the classics. "The Sity" is soft science fiction (with hints of fantasy) that meditates upon both psychological and sociological issues in a distopian (to put it mildly) alien future. You'll find yourself quickly invested in its main characters and their struggle for survival."
"The Sity is full of action and races along at a nice clip. The story is engaging, creative and draws some interesting parallels to real-life issues. It's a book that makes you think."
"While the book has some "typical" sci-fi elements, like edge-of-your-seat action, a futuristic world setting, and - in this case - a race of terrifying aliens, the author presented it all in such an atypical manner, that it kept me hanging on every word."
"Curran has written a tale that is set in a future world with aliens and just before you feel deja vu setting in, the plot grips you. there are thrills, spills and gore and enough twists in the tale to make you wish the book does not end."
""This edgy and smart sci fi thriller has the dark rainy feel of Blade Runner with a story line that is evocative of Logan's Run and even Hunger Games. The main characters are young wastrels struggling for survival in an alien dominated world. I don't want to give away any of the plot line, but I will say that while some of the action is predictable, much of it is surprising, thus keeping the reader off-balance and interested."
"I enjoyed reading The Sity even though it is of a genre I am not usually a fan of. It is a testament to the strength of the narrative that I found this a compelling read and I completed it in short order. I recommend it to those who like dystopian sci fi and I look forward to the next installment."
"A very good friend (Annie) excitedly talked about this story when she was reading it on her kindle. She was captivated by it (full disclosure; she's a huge sci-fi/fantasy geek and devours books like "food") and told me how it stood out from most others. She gushed about the young writer and his imagination. She wore me down and I read "The Sity" in a couple of days. Despite my preference for non-fiction, I must admit she was more than right. I loved it and I think you will too."
""All I can say is, if you like Sci-fi/Superhero type of stories, you'll love The Sity. The more I read the more intense the story became, I got so caught up in it, it was very hard for me to put the book down. I could truly envision the characters, the scenes, and everything that was happening to them; the Author did such a superb job painting the story with his words. I could easily see this being turned into a movie."
