Two elderly scientists hide a dark secret. Twenty-five years earlier they were part of a UK government which legalised all recreational drugs. After only two years, the controversial law, ‘The Fairfield Act’ was repealed. The aftermath was disastrous.
Now, in 2042, no one speaks of the past. The UK is part of the Northern Zone, controlled from London-Centre, a utilitarian mega-city rebuilt for the new order. Citizens in the Northern Zone live only according to the Chairman’s Prime Directives. They’ve lost the ability to create. For them, pleasure is a forgotten emotion.
'The Inhibited' is a futuristic tale following the life of Declan Smith, a young aggrieved student intent on uncovering the truth. Smith believes the key to political change lies in understanding the past, but he soon finds out the greater challenge is the discovery of his own soul.
The Inhibited eBook Jay Saph Kit Foster
This was a completely cool, creepy-awesome dystopian set in future-world Europe after a disastrous law that legalized all drugs, including some with devastating effects. Now twenty-five years later, the EU is divided into the Northern and Southern Zones, with the Northern Zone living under totalitarian rule, still destroyed by the drug’s aftermath. Talking about what happened is prohibited.Author Jay Saph does a great job in the way he slowly metes out information at the start, never quite giving you the entire picture of what is going on, just enough to leave you salivating for more. Why are redheads so important? What’s up with the green lights? Who are these people living isolated and alone? What could have caused everyone to shut down inside? The text raises more questions than it gives answers in the beginning, and that’s the mark of great writing.
The other thing I really enjoy in a book, but particularly in sci fi and dystopians, are novels that propose lots of “what if” questions, and then spool out those scenarios with damning consequences. The question of drug legalization and drug control are ones currently being debated, with strong opinions on both sides. “The Inhibited” creates a scenario where things go very wrong (I wouldn’t spoil this, but it’s in the book’s summary). Then the rather insidious question is… what does the government do in the aftermath? I rather loved the author’s answers, slowly revealed one by one. The one question I wondered about was whether more people wouldn’t have remembered, if this happened only 20, rather than say 40 or 50 years ago.
Hazel and Declan made rather delightful narrators, each on different paths to tell various parts of this story.

The protein drinks only for the special “crimson” children and the rare chicken given out in the food lines made me think a little of Russian food lines, and only the privileged being allowed the best supplies. Great pacing. Captivating storytelling. Very much enjoyed this author.

The Inhibited eBook Jay Saph Kit Foster Reviews
Characters
Lots of interesting characters. I liked Hazel - the little girl - just because of her sweet outlook on most things. Declan was also a likable character although sometimes we was very much a 'boy' (caused me to roll my eyes a few times) but absolutely believable. That was something the author did very well - creating characters that felt like they could be real. I won't say too much here other then that in fear of giving away the story.
Plot
The overall plot isn't too complicated - a little predictable but I appreciated how real the author kept it. It was very imaginative and well within the bounds of what could happen. That is what made it have such an impact. No froo-froo ending of 'happily ever after.' It was a well thought out and realistic ending to this tale. It picked up on very real issue in society and exploited them - for that I have to say well done.
Overall
It felt a bit like reading a biography for fictional characters in a possible future - almost eerily so. Very well done, but it did have areas of languish that made my mind wander and then I'd have to snap back. It was well written and easy to follow - there were some dialogue pieces that read weird and a handful of errors but they weren't major. The slowness may have been due to the author withholding key information until nearly the very end of the book. However, that mystery was also well woven - like a flower slowly blooming, once complete it was a beautiful thing.
My biggest complaint - besides the somewhat rushed ending - was the setting. I really struggled to understand how the new formed world was set up. Some of it made absolutely zero sense. Mostly distance traveled versus time spent traveling and trying to track how far the Northern Zone really spread. That was underdeveloped and took me out of the story multiple times.
Rating
4 stars
This was a thought provoking read that I was surprised at how much I liked at the end. This author did a good job at weaving a believable dystopian future - anyone who likes dystopian books, this is a must read!
I received an eBook copy in exchange of an honest review. More reviews at creatingworldswithwords.wordpress.com.
The Inhibited is a dystopian novel – along the lines of 1984 and A Handmaid’s Tale, rather than the popular YA dystopians we see so much of today – that kept my interest throughout.
The story takes place twenty-five years in the future in the UK. Our main character, Declan, is a young man curious about what happened a little more than two decades ago in his society What created the “inhibited” (or “disengaged” as they are otherwise called) people that make up most of society? What happened to create the difference between these “inhibited” and Declan (and others like him) who have thoughts of their own, emotions, and a desire to learn and create. The search for the answer to this question is what drives Declan through the story, and the answer is skillfully drawn out and, once discovered, surprising.
The story started, as so many good science fiction novels do, by dumping me right into the midst of the story, raising questions in my mind from the very beginning. The world building is seamless and consistent, and allowed me to better and better understand the world Declan lives in as the story progressed. While Declan’s search for answers is the main thrust of the novel, the story is enriched by glimpses into politics (past and current and all relatively abhorrent), an underground revolutionary movement, and yes, even love. I have to admit, at about 90% to 95% through the book, I thought “There is no way this story can end satisfactorily in the next 5% to 10%! Dammit!” I was wrong! The ending is perfect!
Declan, as a character, is likable and his relationships to the various people around him understandable and sympathetic. Threin, on the other hand, was psychotic. No worries – you’ll recognize him when you get there…
Overall, this was a thought-provoking and enjoyable read, recommended to those who enjoy adult dystopian novels.
