Reviews
"This intellectually rich, emotional, and ruthlessly honest confrontation of racism proves Gomillion is a critically important new voice. " -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review "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. " - Foreword Magazine Starred Review "In a sea of dystopian, post-apocalyptic future tales, The Record Keeper stands out. 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 "A fierce and absorbing tale of a heroine finding her own power, set in an exquisitely crafted world... The Record Keeper deserves a place on your must-read list." Christina Henry, author of Alice "A spellbinding, hypnotic read. Highly imaginative, The Record Keeper is an absolute triumph." - Irenosen Okojie, award-winning author of Butterfly Fish "The Record Keeper is a dazzling book, with prose that stuns and a story that captivates from start to finish. This is an important and exquisitely-rendered novel. Both timely and timeless, The Record Keeper is one you won't want to miss." Rivers Solomon, author of An Unkindness of Ghosts "The Record Keeper is to embark on a journey of hard truths and revelation. You will grieve and rage as Gomillion unravels the secrets of past and future." - Olivia A. Cole, author of A Conspiracy of Stars "The Record Keeper grips you from the first page, sucking you into a deftly crafted dystopian future where liberation is barely even a dream. This moving story of a young woman's struggle against mental and physical bondage, tells an important new-old tale and challenges us to begin the fight for freedom in our community and in ourselves." - L. Penelope, award-winning author of Song of Blood & Stone "a near-future dystopia that does what sf does best: it removes us from the here-and-now so we can view ourselves from a fresh perspective." - Kirkus Reviews Best of the Month, "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) "This intellectually rich, emotional, and ruthlessly honest confrontation of racism proves Gomillion is a critically important new voice.

Butler''s work. Arika Cobane is as engaging, flawed, and fully human as Dana Franklin of Kindred or Lauren Olamina of Butler''s Parable novels. Given that Butler''s work remains unfinished, its author gone too soon, Agnes Gomillion''s arrival feels like deliverance. Here is a writer whose work will survive genre fads and shifting cultural attention to reveal persistent, crucial truths." - New York Journal of Books "A fierce and absorbing tale of a heroine finding her own power, set in an exquisitely crafted world...

Brave and thought-provoking." - SFX "a worthy addition to an exciting sub-genre" - Black Gate "Gomillion''s afro-futurist worldbuilding is fascinating and stark" - Barnes & Noble SFF Blog "This book is a challenge. This book is a call for change. This book is stunning." - Travelling My Shelves "its premise, and the style in its telling, are laudable" - Angry Angel Books "one of those stories that are going to stay with me for a while. I want to push this book into everyone''s hand to read" - The Misadventures of a Reader "Fans of books like Dread Nation and the Hunger Games series may enjoy this book, I encourage people to pick it up and give it a try. It''s thought-provoking and unique." - Mixed Girl Nerd "a story of fighting for equality, of standing up to oppressors no matter how strong they might be, and, maybe most importantly, a person facing not only the truth of their beliefs but what their beliefs and the fear to stand up for what they believe is right can do to those around them" - Looking Glass Reads, "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) "This intellectually rich, emotional, and ruthlessly honest confrontation of racism proves Gomillion is a critically important new voice.

Synopsis
The Record Keeper is a visceral and thrilling near-future dystopia examining past and present race relations. After World War III, Earth is in ruins, and the final armies have come to a reluctant truce. Everyone must obey the law -- in every way -- or risk shattering the fragile peace and endangering the entire human race. Although Arika Cobane is a member of the race whose backbreaking labour provides food for the remnants of humanity, she is destined to become a member of the Kongo elite. After ten gruelling years of training, she is on the threshold of taking her place of privilege far from the fields. But everything changes when a new student arrives. Hosea Khan spews dangerous words of treason: What does peace matter if innocent lives are lost to maintain it? As Arika is exposed to new beliefs, she realises that the laws she has dedicated herself to uphold are the root of her people's misery. If Arika is to liberate her people, she must unearth her fierce heart and discover the true meaning of freedom: finding the courage to live -- or die -- without fear., " The Record Keeper is empathy through fiction." - Actor, Comedian and Film Producer Wayne Brady on The Record Keeper which he plans to bring to the Silver Screen.
