Hogan Duran is a retired cop. He retired as he failed to save his partner from getting shot. His partner ends up in a wheelchair and eventually lives with Hogan’s studio apartment. To survive, he works for creepy, cruel people and scavenges trash for food and other usable items. He has applied to work for a company job that would make his life easier. Will he get it? He gets an invitation from the National Security Council (NCS). If he passes their tests, he will get to live a life of luxury and wealth. When he passes the test, he learns of things that has him wondering what NCS really is. What does he know?

The novel is a page turner. New events come one after another. Even when there is a chance of a breath before the next event, a surprising twist occurs. This story shows a possible future for our world which I found scary. I enjoyed following Hogan’s experiences and learning what to do.

I enjoyed the book Kill Code very much. It was a new twist to a world after an apocalyptic ending. The writing was fresh and well thought through. There were a few times that I was surprised about the direction it took but it was a good read. I’m looking forward to any future books in this genre especially by this author.

Kill Code is a great, action packed read with likeable characters and a surprising twist.
I was pulled in right from the start, following Hogan Duran's fight for a place in an elite army-like organization. The tests for new candidates were nothing outstanding but the author's writing style is very engaging and keeps you wanting to read more.
What I truly loved about Kill Code were the characters like Hogan, a former police officer and all around amazing fighter, Ruby, a well trained computer specialist, Hunter, who is a former officer of the powerful organization, and the Krails, a gang or rather tribe that fights against said organization. It was amazing how everything came together for a really awesome plot twist that would do well in a movie.
But no wonder there, as Clive Fleury has worked in that field.
Overall, I'm looking forward to the second book, as Kill Code leaves us at an interesting cliffhanger. As Hogan and Ruby join the Krails, the real fight has just begun.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for a honest review!

Kill Code by Clive Fleury is a great read! If you are looking for a quick read that will keep you engaged throughout the story then this is the novel for you.

This dystopian novel is set in the year 2031. Climate change and a corrupt upper class has drastically changed the world as it once was. The protagonist, Hogan Duran, is a former cop who ended up resigning after an unfortunate accident involving his partner. He is now living among the lower class, digging through trash just to survive. Now, however, he has the chance to change all of that by taking a series of test to see if he is able to join a group called the National Security Council. But is the NSC all Hogan thinks it is?

The plot of Kill Code was action packed and quickly paced. Great for a summer read if you want a quick read without the romance. I am hoping for this novel to become a series!

received a free ARC of this novel from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a really well developed dystopian novel. Hogan is an ex cop who lives at the margin of society with his friend. He survives delivering the paper on foot and finding food scavenging through garbage dumps. Life isn't easy after global warming has left many homeless and starving. Hogan gets an opportunity to improve his life by earning a spot on the police force. He goes through many dangerous challenges and he ends up saving much more than his life.
I liked that the author creates a strong and honorable hero that no matter the consequences always does the right thing. Enjoyed it.
