Unregistered cover

Living the ideal life is a human right, unless you’re unregistered. Under the control of the all-powerful Metrics Worldwide Government, every citizen’s life is assigned—job, school, spouse, and even children. Families are designed to raise one perfect child, and the concept of happiness is guaranteed by the government's precise control. But there’s a dark secret lurking beneath the surface: the unregistered. These are the second children, forgotten and cast aside by the system. For 20-year-old Bristol, life as an unregistered is all he knows, but he can’t shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. Discontented and restless, he channels his rebellion through clandestine, controversial murals that speak of freedom and truth, hidden in the shadows of the city. When Metrics cracks down, they announce the relocation of all unregistered citizens to desolate desert states. But Bristol and his friends soon discover the terrifying truth behind this plan. With their lives at stake, they must flee and fight to survive in an unknown world—one that holds secrets about the society they’ve never been told. In a world where freedom is forbidden and escape seems impossible, will Bristol defy the government’s control? Or will he be swallowed by the lies of his motherland? Dive into this heart-pounding dystopian thriller of survival, rebellion, and a race to uncover the truth.

“In debut author Lynch’s exceptional near-future totalitarian nightmare of obedience and forced sterilization, all major individual decisions are removed. Four central characters in an unnamed city resent their repressive lives...Their lives intertwine in Lynch’s scant but complex book, which packs in scathing commentaries on police brutality, crime prevention, population control, classism, and state-sponsored murder.” - Publisher’s Weekly

Unregistered is quite engaging, with deep, thought-provoking ideas of government. The book is darkly written, but there are friendships, hope and faith intertwined throughout, which helps offset what is happening.”- InD’tale


“A science fiction story with a lot of heart. I warmed up quickly to all four of the core characters within this grim dystopian world.” - Award Winning Fantasy and Sci-Fi Author, E. J. Wenstrom
