Publisher Description
For sixteen years, we've never forgotten the number one rule: one look into their eyes, and it's all over.
===
By 2042, Earth is a broken maze of fortified blockades and silent streets, haunted by gorgons whose paralyzing gaze turns survivors into lasting monuments to fear. Hardened cynic Sergeant Cameron "Jet" Shipley, and his believing little brother Wyatt "Rutty" Shipley, have already buried family, brothers-in-arms, and their faith in anything but the next breath. When a flicker of thermal life pierces the dead zones, Jet leads his squad into the ruins - and into a secret that should have saved them years ago. A new recruit carries proof of a hidden weapon, a shard of alien-wrought power that could finally cut through the gorgons' reign. But every answer invites a darker question: who buried humanity's best hope, and why?
As whispers of conspiracy coil through the ranks, Jet must choose between orders and the truth, between faith and cynicism, between vengeance and vision. Trust fractures. Loyalties snap. The enemy outside is lethal, but the threat within may be fatal. With each step through ash and shadow, Jet is forced to decide what kind of soldier he is, and what kind of world is worth risking his soul to rebuild. If he can unite a ragged found family of fighters, hackers, and skeptics around a weapon born of alien terror and human resolve, there's finally a chance to shatter the gaze that holds the planet in its grip. If not, the last spark of hope will blink out in the dark.

Customer Reviews
Cant wait to read what happens next!
Dissonance packs emotional and thematic depth as the first book in this dystopian series. It’s been 16 years since the start of the alien occupation where survivors have been forced to hide and adapt. The story centers on two close-knit brothers who grew up under occupation and joined the military. Tasked with a seemingly impossible and likely suicidal mission, the brothers along with a small band of soldiers set out to confront the enemy and rescue survivors. There is a love story that is both tenderhearted and childlike. Ryan explores the resiliency of the human heart, despite being denied normal coming of age experiences with humanity under constant threat. The strength of this book lies in the suspenseful storyline, intricate adherence to the emotional, political and structural consequences of invasion, while including surprisingly complex discussions of faith, love, survival and family. The ending left me both satisfied and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how this series continues.
Excellent through and through
I loved this. Through and through. I was a Beta reader for it and it doesn’t let up. The series only gets better from here as well. Strong themes of morality, justice vs. revenge, snarkiness vs. maturity, cynicism vs. trust. Seriously a good read AND apparently they’re pitching it to studio execs as we speak. I hope they stick close to the book!
Dissonance
It may come as a shock to some. Not everyone is Christian. Not everyone particularly likes Christianity.
So….might have been a decent story, without the Christian framing, agenda, assumed and implied, complacent exceptionality often displayed by Christians.
So be warned…..and sure, I got issues with it. Actually, a lot of people do.
