My Review:
I ran across this title on a blog post. The cover was eye-catching and the blurb sounded exciting, so I decided to give the book a try. Boy, I’m glad I did.
The story starts off in action-packed drama, which is never really explained in book one about the significance of the artifact the soldier is trying to recover. I’m assuming he’s Elliot’s great-great grandfather? Hopefully, that detail will be revealed in book two.
As for the rest o the story, it’s about two main characters, Elliot and Arthur, as opposite as you can get in lifestyles. They are both facing the same enemy, though, they don’t’ know that until the end. I loved both of their characters, and I can’t wait to see how they will develop together, now that they’ve joined forces.
The theme of the story it’s your typical bad people trying to make super villains, and a superhero that ain’t so super. l really enjoyed that Arthur’s powers kept mutating until he ends up what he becomes. I felt he handled the end result maybe a bit too impassive. I think I’d have been freaked out.
The writing is good and kept me turning the pages. I did find a few typos, and there was one point I felt that it was a little weak. But, I was thoroughly entertained and can’t wait to see what happens next. Also, the blurb eludes to an alien invasion but there is nothing in the first book that indicates it. Hmmm. Interesting.
If you love sci-fi with superhero’s and villain’s, I highly recommend this book. I give it 5 stars and on to book two.
