Kill Code by Clive Fleury

I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
In this dystopian world, the rich live in luxury,  while the poor wait at the garbage dump to fight for scraps and jobs are few.  
Hogan Duran is a disgraced police officer, forced to resign after his partner got shot. When he gets an offer to test to be an officer for the National Security Council, he jumps at the chance. Only one person in the class will be chosen and the tests are brutal and life-threatening. But when secrets about the NSC are revealed,  Hogan must decide whether to go along or fight the system.
This story reminded me of the Matrix movies, especially the simulation tests.  It's very action-packed and kept me guessing what would happen next.
