Arika Cobane is as engaging, flawed, and fully human as Dana Franklin of Kindred or Lauren Olamina of Butler’s Parable novels.
"Gomillion writes with the elegance and insight that pervades Octavia E. Gomillion's background and advocacy shines through in her debut novel, which paints a stark picture of a divided, authoritarian country that became a world power under the guise of maintaining peace, while calling attention to the very real dark history and current racial problems in the real world." - Booklist "In a sea of dystopian, post-apocalyptic future tales, The Record Keeper stands out. "The Record Keeper-with its absorbing developments and clarion call to freedom-will hold its readership in thrall and have them waiting expectantly for the follow-up. "This intellectually rich, emotional, and ruthlessly honest confrontation of racism proves Gomillion is a critically important new voice. “Gomillion has written a brutally honest, often heartbreaking novel that examines slavery and racism while offering redemption and hope.” - The Guardian (Best Recent Science Fiction)
