Publisher Description
Sanaa's New Year's Eve wish leads her to a dark, hidden world of corruption, death... and her own strength.
Sanaa believed she had her life planned out — a dream job, a loving family, and a bright future. But when she's reassigned to a mysterious data analyst position under Mark Sakai, her world is thrown into chaos as she discovers that her new role is intertwined with a violent power struggle between powerful clans. Pulled into a deadly world of secrets and lies, Sanaa finds herself inexplicably drawn to Jiro, the swordsman who teaches her to defend herself while also stealing her heart.
Despite their growing attraction, a dangerous truth lies ahead. Sanaa and Jiro must work together to save their city and discover a new peace, no matter the cost. But when the secrets of her family legacy threaten to bring an end to humanity, Sanaa is forced to face the ultimate truth and save them all before the great exodus from Earth begins.
Sanaa must find the courage to confront her destiny and fight for the future of humanity in Removed, the first book in the thrilling science fiction romance Nogiku Series. If you like tenacious heroines, sizzling chemistry, and unique post-apoc settings, then you'll love S. J. Pajonas's romantic adventure.
This is the third edition, revised February 2022, with extensive edits to both the chapter order and length.
Customer Reviews
REMOVED is an interesting mix of Dystopian and Sci-Fi.
Received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I’ll preface this review by saying this isn’t normally my style. I could tell S.J. Pajonas was influenced by Haruki Murakami, which isn’t a bad thing–but not necessarily my cup of tea. I have yet to get through one of his books. Glad I stuck this one out, though. Pajonas was able to take his style and compact it into a short, compelling read.
REMOVED is an interesting mix of Dystopian and Sci-Fi. Really enjoyed the blend of Japanese culture with western customs and phrasing. At times the Japanese language was a bit overwhelming, which took me out of the story. I unfortunately didn’t discover the glossary in the back until the end…
Overall a great story of first love and self-discovery. The cliffhanger definitely left me wanting to know what happens next.
Oh jeez
The story line had great promise but as you read it you find that it’s more like a Nickelodeon kids tv show. The deeper the author tries to go, the more annoying the characters become.
Mr.
Wow, I am surprised how much I liked this simple seeming book. I love the way it is written, in the first person of our delightful, unlikely hero. I am very eager to read more of this story.
