Sinopsis

When Olivia and DeAnn were recruited into a secretive organization, they had no idea they’d accidentally find themselves on a field mission. Unprepared and unqualified, will they rise up to the challenge? Olivia is a British lawyer trying to start a family with her less than enthusiastic boyfriend. But when her happily-ever-after fails to materialize, hoping for a change, she tries for a job with the mysterious Cassandra Programme. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pond, DeAnn has everything a woman could want: a prestigious career as a geneticist, a spotless, childless, successful life. Yet it all feels hollow somehow. Perhaps a new career in Cambridge could be the answer? As soon as the two women set eyes on each other, it’s instant dislike. As they vie for the top spots in the increasingly strange competition, it becomes clear that this is not your run-of the-mill organization. Some of The Cassandra Programme’s secrets are worth killing for and some secrets… could get them killed. Their lives at stake, will Olivia and DeAnn find a way to survive? And what if the Cassandra Programme’s secrets were beyond anything they’d ever imagined? Chosen is the first book in The Beautiful Ones trilogy, a series of adventure thrillers that feature surprising plot twists, rival secret organizations and two kick-ass yet relatable heroines. If you like fast-paced thrillers with a hint of adventure then you’ll love the first installment in this brand new series. Pick-up Chosen to start your exciting adventure today!

Cr�ticas

'The Beautiful Ones captures the human predicament through the overpopulation lens with fearless clarity. O.M. Faure weaves the interconnections of overconsumption by the wealthy, environmental degradation, racism, and poverty, into a thriller that moves from today to 2081 and lays clearly at the readers’ feet a challenge for all of us to change current behaviors now.'
Paul Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb and Bing Professor of Population Studies at Stanford University

‘A tremendously ambitious, thought-provoking and worthwhile project. O. M. Faure has conjured up a colourful cast of characters caught up in an entertaining story in which action is informed by important ideas about our global past, present and future. An impressive achievement!’ Sue Belfrage, author of Down to the River and Up to the Trees
‘The Beautiful Ones is a story that people need to read and a discussion that needs to happen in society. The characters feel like they’re alive. The book made me laugh out loud a lot... and it also made me tear up. I would keep the clapping going for a great story with a compelling idea and a gripping narrative.’ Tony King, author of Fishing for Music and Australian Songwriter of the Year 2009
‘Captivating, unsettling, bold. O. M. Faure's The Beautiful Ones isn’t afraid to hit you hard with the “first they came for them and now they're coming for you”. With such authenticity and heart, this trilogy will touch your life and spark many conversations.’ Isabelle Felix, author of Deafinitely
‘In The Beautiful Ones, O.M. Faure offers us a chilling glance into a world not so very far from our own, and paints a compelling picture or a dystopian future that may be closer than we think.’
Clare Kane, author of Dragons in Shallow Waters.
