Counterblow Clemency is a young adult science fiction story from Naomi Shibles.

Promo City is blazing with advertising pollution, but all sixteen-year-old Bjorn Bear cares about is having fun, until the city’s deadliest assassins attack him. With his motley gang of friends by his side, Bjorn must evade a crime boss with a vendetta, overcome genetically-engineered mini hippos, and race against time to discover and stop whoever is out to get him—all while facing the possibility that the only family he’s ever known isn’t real.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun, well-written adventurous romp--perfect escapist read for both teens and adults
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024

"Counterblow Clemency" is a fun, well-written story, full of adventurous hijinks and superbly evocative prose that is sure to capture the attention of readers from start to finish. Like a painter, the talented author Naomi Shibles uses words as if it were her palette to create a kaleidoscope of richly detailed imagery so vivid you can practically see the story unfolding in your head while you read it. I especially enjoyed the main character Bjorn Bear's interactions with childhood idol/former TV hero/icon Carter Lock as they attempt to battle and evade the villains out to get Bjorn. Though geared for a YA audience, "Counterblow Clemency" is such a delight adults are sure to be enthralled by it as well. A great read to usher in the new year. "Counterblow Clemency" is highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, and FUN Sci-Fi!

A friend recommended this book to me. And I'm grateful for that because, although I am a huge sci-fi fan, I never would have chosen a YA book. Loved the story, loved the main character Bjorn and the ensemble of characters. And I loved the pace. The author's writing style is witty and compelling and I finished this book within a week. I highly recommend Counterblow Clemency AND really hope this is the first of many books from Naomi Shibles!

5.0 out of 5 stars Counterblow Clemency is not one you put down !
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
The title of this book is intriguing & rightfully so. A dystopian adventure, fast paced & full of excitement at every turn, it's not the sort of read one puts down readily. I bought it & read it almost nonstop in a day. The author's skill in capturing the reader is amazing, her descriptive wording bring both characters and action into life in riveting fashion. While Counterblow Clemency is styled as for young adults it is a tale worthy of anyone who loves a good adventure, mystery & an exciting story. Obviously, I loved it and I am an older reader. I am enthusiastically looking forward to more stories from Ms.Naomi Shibles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a winner!
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024
I have been a bit bored lately with all the books I started. They just do not grab my attention or demand me to turn the page. So, I took a chance on a YA novel to try something new. I am grateful I did because I could NOT put it down! If you want to get engaged in a real adventure with a clever plot and genuinely interesting characters, I highly recommend Counterblow Clemency!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty Adventure
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2024
Five pages into Counterblow Clemency, I continued my read well into the night. The swirling imagery and character development of Bjorn
as he navigates his young life through this futuristic landscape, was really fun and visual. The descriptive style has a lyrical rhythm that
I appreciate in a good read. I look forward to reading more books from Naomi Shibles. Perhaps there might even be a sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars An exhilarating read
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2024
Take it from someone that prefers to read non-fiction and educational books. This is an exciting and fast flowing read. I resd the first couple of chapters in just one sitting. That’s a big deal for me!
