Sean Williams

Clair lives in a world revolutionised by d-mat, a global teleport system that allows people to transport themselves instantaneously around the world. When a coded note promises improvement - the chance to change your body any way you want, making it stronger, taller, more beautiful - Clair thinks it’s too good to be true, but her best friend, Libby, is determined to give it a try.

What starts as Libby’s dream turns into Clair’s nightmare when Libby falls foul of a deadly trap. With the help of Jesse, the school freak, and a mysterious online friend called Q, Clair’s attempt to protect Libby leads her to an unimagined world of conspiracies and cover-ups. Soon her own life is at risk, and Clair is chased across the world in a desperate race against time.

Review

Clair’s world is remarkable; technology has completely transformed people’s lives. All requirements are reproduced instantly by ‘fabbers’, eliminating the need for money. Most importantly the creation of d-mat has revolutionised transportation globally, allowing anyone to go anywhere in a heartbeat. Only ‘Abstainers’, a minClair’s world is remarkable; technology has completely transformed people’s lives. All requirements are reproduced instantly by ‘fabbers’, eliminating the need for money. Most importantly the creation of d-mat has revolutionised transportation globally, allowing anyone to go anywhere in a heartbeat. Only ‘Abstainers’, a minority group convinced the system is dangerous, shun d-mat. But they’re perceived as a crazy fringe element by most people.

So when Clair’s friend Libby suffers life-threatening complications caused by the ‘infallible’ d-mat, Clair finds herself in a dangerous and desperate race against time to save her friend.

This first book in the Twinmaker trilogy is a fast-paced action thriller with intriguing plot twists and a gutsy protagonist who’s determined to succeed at any cost. Highly recommended.
