Whispers in the Code by Stephanie Flint & Isaac Flint
"Inverting the trope of an exceptional teenager defying an evil government, the authors craft a tale of a young man struggling to find his place in a tyrannical but potentially necessary regime.
This book is set after the events of Distant Horizon. Risk of spoilers ahead."
