    History isn’t always written to glorify the victors. Sometimes, it’s written to conceal the truth. 
    One such truth is that Sparta still exists today as a technologically advanced, secret civilization dedicated to protecting humankind. 
    When smallpox is genetically engineered into a bioweapon, Alessa, a warrior in the Spartan military, is sent to collect evidence regarding its origin. After being violently attacked, she awakens with no memory to a world infected with the very virus she had been sent to prevent.  
    Fueled by rage, Alessa and a mysterious Spartan warrior from her past seek revenge against those responsible for her attack, during which pieces of her memory slowly resurface from the cobwebbed corners of her fragmented mind. As the virus’s death toll rises, it’s a race against the clock for her to remember the disturbing truth behind the pandemic’s creation. 
    Glitched is a deliciously dark, action-packed technothriller abundant with revenge, romance, and adventure.
