I won this book free from Library Thing Early Reviewers group. It was a fast quick read, but I did not care for it. The characters and plot were not very credible. The story was a bit messy.This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I received this book through the early reviewers group. Science Fiction is not something I normally read but the plot description sounded like something I might really enjoy. I was 44 pages into the book before I began to figure out what the book was really about. I guess I don't have the proper mind set to really enjoy this book or say that I might find it promising. Given today's movies - I can see where someone might take this disjointed story and turn it into a typical space action packed film. I, sadly, cannot recommend this book. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This is as a review as part of an early reviews group.So, it is important to figure out what the correct audience for this work is. I would say about 8 or 9 years old, certainly no older than that. This is a romp of a Scooby-Doo SF novel. All that is missing is the bad guy saying "And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids!" at the end. It is a pseudo space-opera, thriller written for kids in the style of Tom Swift or the Hardy Boys. The characters are wooden and one-dimensional, the plot is safe and sanitized for young kids, and there are promises of future instalments. My view is that kids reading anything is better than kids reading nothing - so in that vein, if they'll read this all to the good. However, in the current environment, there are significantly better works for children of this age. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I won this book through the early reviewers group. The book is only 150 pages, very quick read, one day. If you like details and character back story then this book is not for you. If your looking for a book that cuts to the chase, go for it. This book is the first in a series, or episodes as it claims at the end. Overall not a bad book, for length tho, it was a page turner. This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers. This book is a mess. Lots of description that has nothing to do with the plot, while things related to the plot are not explained. Every good character is somehow unrealistically perfect. The plot is essentially a bunch of convenient coincidences. The explained future history at the beginning doesn't really related to the rest to the story, with a bit of bonus preachiness for what seems like the author's political view. no reviews | add a review
In the pursuit of power, man often sows the seeds of his own destruction. It isn't by chance. It's fueled by ego and driven by man's inherent desire to exercise power over others. Once the basics of food, shelter, and the means to defend no longer play a dominant role, man focuses his attention in the pursuit of power. It becomes the main attraction-the intoxicant. The question then becomes, "where are the limits, and to what end?" When hubris drives the man, consideration for others is often marginalized. As this mindset gathers momentum, he consciously ventures beyond his rational self to a place known to but a few. Ambition becomes the abiding master. It is across this threshold that greed takes hold, evolving into a deadly playground...a playground of tyrants. The reader will be blindsided by a series of unexpected events driven by nuclear emissions, hell-fires, mayhem and extortion, all woven together in a fearful tale of evil on a grand scale.
