In 2082, a catastrophic explosion rocks the dedication ceremony of the new United Nations in New York City. Security Director Julia Moro is on the job, chasing after the misogynistic leader of Patria, a long-disbanded international terrorist organization now being whispered about again on the streets. This dangerous, shadowy figure has been linked to several bombing attempts and vicious attacks on women, including the Women of Peace--an organization headed by thirteen bold women who have risked their lives to restore worldwide peace. As Julia's investigation unfolds, a deep secret from her past threatens to strip her of everything she cherishes and plunge her into unrecoverable darkness. The Circle of Thirteen's gripping narrative weaves back and forth in time, from an act of domestic violence that created the disturbed personality of the Patria mastermind, to the two weeks leading up to the bombing at the UN, to events half a century before the bombing that directly influence it. The strong, relatable women and the unbreakable bond between them provide an emotionally grounded window into the future's unforgettable history.… (mere)

I read this book only a month ago and I forget most of it.

The story of the women of the Women for Peace movement was fascinating but the possibility of a terrorist attack of their memorial was boring. The time jumps were confusing and basically the entire book plodded along. Super disappointing. ( )

This a story about the future in which women have not only equaled men in power and position but in many cases have seemingly surpassed them. Many men are having a lot of problems dealing with this gender reversal. The "circle of thirteen" refers to a group of women who were martyred trying to bring about this more humane world. A terrorist group known as Patria (men) are trying to bring this futuristic socially humane society down. The heroine finds that she has not only ties to the powerful women of this new age but also to the leaders of Patria who are attempting to destroy it. The book is well conceived and imaginative and kept me captivated from first page to last. ( )

Book Review & Giveaway: When I first saw The Circle of Thirteen by William Petrocelli, I was captivated by its concept but I wasn’t sure how I would feel about a debut novel written by a man that’s about women embracing their power. Thankfully, that was never an issue with this novel. The Circle of Thirteen is a near-future novel providing a glimpse of what could happen to our world if it continues to become even more violent and polarized. At the same time it offers a message of hope, especially for women, as we all continue to grow and evolve. This is an action-packed sci-fi/thriller but it’s so much more than that – it envisions the possibilities of a new world order. I guarantee that it will make you stop and think.

This book starts with events in 2012 and ends up in 2082. Women are mostly in charge since roughly 2055 and things are a bit different than they were in 2012. A new United Nations has been created, and the world seems more connected (helped with major advances in technology). However, not all is well. Patria, a hate group focused on women, are beginning to ramp up their presence as the U.N. makes plans to honor The Circle of Thirteen, 13 women who died as martyrs and were the impetus to the major changes in world. The book bounces around in time, blending past and present very nicely to move the tale along quickly. It's just enough "sci-fi" to keep the whole things fresh, enough feminism to make me fascinated (and wishful), and fast enough in it's storytelling to keep me reading to the wee hours. This is an impressive debut novel that I urge any lover of mysteries to read. ( )
