Sean Williams

M.T. Anderson meets Cory Doctorow in this teen debut from #1 New York Times bestseller Sean Williams, who also co-authors the Troubletwisters series with Garth Nix.

When a coded note promises improvement—the chance to change your body any way you want, making it stronger, taller, more beautiful—Clair thinks it’s too good to be true, but her best friend, Libby, falls into a deadly trap.

With the help of the school freak and a mysterious stranger, Clair races against the clock and around the world to save Libby, even as every step draws her deeper into a deadly world of cover-ups and conspiracies.
Action and danger fuel this near-future tale of technology, identity, and the lengths one girl will go to save her best friend.

Number-one New York Times bestselling author of STAR WARS: The Force Unleashed, Sean Williams is best-known internationally for his award-winning space opera series and novels set in the Star Wars universe, many co-written with Shane Dix. These include the ASTROPOLIS, EVERGENCE, ORPHANS, and GEODESICA series. His stories have been gathered in several collections, including NEW ADVENTURES IN SCI-FI, LIGHT BODIES FALLING and MAGIC DIRT: The Best of Sean Williams.

TWINMAKER asks smart questions without easy answers, and presents a future so simultaneously wonderful and terrible you can only believe in it—and maybe wish you could be there, too. A thrilling, existential head trip worthy of my favorite anime, I couldn't stop reading this book. More importantly, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

A gripping YA thriller, coming of age and love story that transports the reader to a future that looks a whole lot better than it really is... Highly Recommended.

The dangers, casualties and well-written action scenes keep tensions high. Williams marries accessibly explored moral ramifications of future technologies-a hallmark of mature science fiction-with a strong, capable teen heroine and heart-pounding action.

In the masterful hands of Williams, the technology, which has eerie parallels to contemporary life, provides a solid platform for great storytelling, and teens will revel in the drama, Clair’s tenacity, and the memorable characters who discover that their utopia isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Williams spins a sprawling and complex tale, built on an impressively well-constructed premise and held together with intrigue and tension.

Twinmaker took my breath away. A triumph of thrilling action and vivid imagination.
