Truesight
DAVID STAHLER JR.
On a frontier world is a colony called Harmony.
Like everyone who lives there, Jacob is blind.
Growing up in Harmony Station, a colony established on a distant planet by an association of blind people who have had themselves genetically altered so that their offspring will be blind too, Jacob is approaching his 13th birthday when, in the wake of a series of severe headaches, he realises that he can see. What he sees, besides previously unsuspected natural beauty all around, is that his supposedly pious, tightly knit, morally upright community harbors food thieves, adulterers, and hypocrites.
This is the journey of one young man who will discover how much there is too see- if only you are willing to look.
I really enjoyed this book, it is the first of the Truesight trilogy. This book is based in a tight knit community which has strong morals and relationships. But underneath the surface there is so much, basically corruption. I really enjoyed this book, it is all about Jacob, the main character, breaking free and forming his own opinions. Although the plot does take a while to get running, the next few books follow this one up beautifully. The whole book is about conforming with your society, and sometimes its not right!
A previous statement that I made about 'not liking science fiction', is pretty must destroyed. I have lately dipped more into this genre and I am loving some of the books which I have found.
