Am I Beautiful?

G.F. Bileck's "Am I Beautiful?" takes you on a surprisingly deep and enthralling trip through the murky abyss of man's darker side. It's a brilliant, mind-bending Sci-Fi thriller that will keep you spellbound until you've turned the very last page. Bileck burns down a pitch-black firework of ideas so richly detailed and conceptualized that you'll often find yourself wondering whether you're reading fiction or a convincing historic novel set on a distant planet. Revolving around two main characters, bound together by fate and their enigmatic past, the narrative explores the dichotomy of man's startling technological advancements on one side, and the never-ending search for spiritual answers on the other. Make no mistake, it's a gripping survival horror story at heart. A story about mystery and intrigue in a time when the worst enemy of mankind, sterilized by its own apathy and blind inventiveness, is mankind itself. Bileck sends her protagonists off on a thrilling, thought-provoking ride through their own personal hells that will stick with you for a long time. If you dare enter. And enter you must, because this dramatic, action-packed roller coaster of a novel is an experience best understood by participating in it.
