This book made me laugh, made me cry, scared me to death and made me question many beliefs. It also gave me hope and faith in this motley crew called mankind.
A lonely 36 year old widower, a veteran of Vietnam with nothing to live for. A beautiful woman scarred by a mentally abusive childhood - weak, vulnerable but not broken. A ruthless and psychotic assassin, who enjoys his job for his own personal reasons. A dedicated but troubled government agent who must question what he is to his very soul. Drawn together in a deadly hunt, a fight for survival that must be played to the death. Drawn together by two mutant creatures, both changed utterly from the animals they once were. No-one who encounters them will ever be the same again. Nor will you. The ultimate childhood fantasy brought to life through modern science. A roller coaster of a plot, complex, fast, unrelenting, reveals a fresh twist at every turn. Every human emotion is portrayed in breathtakingly beautiful, exquisite detail. Take no notice of the “horror” mantle. This is a dark, moral book, whose premise is entirely possible in the not too distant future. It is a heart-warming tale, full of hope, faith and belief. A book that shows the pure, good side of human nature as well as the dark side. A book of dreams and nightmares. Quite simply the most touching, poignant, action packed, heart stopper of a book I’ve ever read. This is a “best ever” book. |
