Description
Tasker.
Veteran.
Engineer.
Searcher.
Each of them is on the long journey through dangerous backroads down to the “Drowned City” of mid-22nd century New Orleans. They have but one thing in common: each of them is looking for Query.
None of them is even sure who - or what - is behind the mysterious criminal syndicate. But each knows that Query has what they're looking for. And it may even be willing to help them - for a price.
A debt migrant, desperate for a better life.
A soldier, reeling from the grief of losing his husband.
An engineer on a mission to avert a war in her homeland.
A refugee worker in search of his lover’s abductors.
As their clando van twists its way through the Tennessee Republic, the Sovereign State of Alabama, the Republic of Mississippi and into the increasingly lawless Louisiana Territory, the four of them begin to realize that their meeting isn’t a coincidence. They’ve each been summoned. Together.

Blair Reeves offers readers some truly badass science fiction. I love the alternative world and future this author has created in Exaltation. Sci-fi is my go-to genre, and I liked this grounded take. Reeves's writing made me keep turning pages to see what was next.

Exaltation by Blair Reeves is indeed a remarkable dystopian Sci-Fi novella given his engineering background and his expertise aimed at writing only technical books and manuals. Though I must admit there are many things which are off about the story many sentences that just won't slide down your neck, it seems it is self-published by Mr Reeves and most probably he doesn't have an editor. The story is divided into four sections that describe the lives and background of the four characters.
Well my first impression of the book, I must admit I was thrilled (and marvelled) and pretty much it continued throughout the book but there is something about the writing which you know annoyed me like the use of unrequired adjectives. I don't know what exactly to say but sometimes stuff seemed like they ain't making any sense
Keeping the technical details aside I loved the book and the story, it was thrilling and perhaps I would love to read more of the author's work.
