The Visitor
by Louvie G. Tucker
🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Synopsis
Nusans don’t cause trouble. Peter is a good Nusan. Single, annoyed with his best friend’s constant blind dates, and comfortably provided for with his job as a genmod technician, he spends his days telling expectant parents what their unborn children will look like. For a fee, he can modify physical and mental traits.To ensure Nusa’s perfect society, however, it is law that all babies must be born with white skin, an IQ 120 or above, and without any illnesses or disabilities. These modifications are free of charge. It’s the law. And good Nusans obey the law. The people of Susa, however, are known to be troublemakers.
Thank goodness the dark-skinned Susans all live south of the border, in Susa. The closest Peter ever has to come to a dangerous Susan is either on the silver screen being vanquished by a heroic Nusan hero or on the news as deporters -- the force charged to keep Nusa safe -- prepare to send them south to Susa.
That is, until a dark-skinned visitor is suddenly inside the four walls of Peter’s quiet existence. Snarky. Irreverent and without any regard for the rules, the stranger should be a Susan but is he? Why is he claiming to have fallen from the stars?
Everything Peter knows is suddenly in question and even his status as a good Nusan is under threat as deporters seek him out on suspicion of a capital crime. Has Peter caused trouble?
Life as Peter has known it is fragile. Can he survive long enough to learn the truth? And will he even want to believe it once he finds it?

Review
Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources and Louvie G. Tucker for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.
In the world of The Visitor we are brought into a world where everything is "perfect". Expectant parents can have their child's "flaws" medically fixed to anything they can afford. The government will also pay for a child to have light skin and an IQ of no less than 120 before the parents even have to pay a cent. These are called "Nusan". Anyone who dares not to have their children corrected are called "Susan". Susan are dark skinned and live in the South of the border, tucked away where they won't cause trouble. One day a man believed to be a Nusan is discovered. That is when things start to get weird for our main character Peter. Now Peter must decide if he believes this new comer or not and what he is willing to risk to act on his beliefs.
First, let's get right to the negative and get that out of the way. The thing I really disliked about this book was the terms "Nusan" and "Susan" and how often they were used. I just found them to be really tiresome to keep saying over and over, especially with how similar the two words are.
Thankfully, this book has a lot more positive aspects than negative. The plot of this story was really good. It was interesting and a little different. I was quite happy with the visitor and how everything played out. The writing was engaging and well done. This is such a quick read, even for a short book it just flies by quickly. Louvie G. Tucker did a great job at drawing me into this world. I really enjoyed it.
If you're looking for a quick sci-fi fix this could be what you're looking for.
