I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a non-reciprocal review. This book is written from a first person perspective, allowing the reader an in-depth view of Adrian, the story's main character. It is through his eyes that we experience a dystopian world, possessed by a tyrannical regime. He is a well-rounded character who is not your typical hero.Non-stop action abounds in this sci-fi thriller. Mr. Partamyan's writing style engages the reader and holds you to the very last word. There is a brief description of the world at the very beginning, but it does not bog down the writing as some stories tend to do. He allows you, the reader, to learn about the world as you progress through the storyline.This is a very enjoyable, edge of your seat type of story. Though it has a very serious plot that could very well be a warning of events possible in our own world, the author has graciously lightened the mood in a few places, giving just enough of a comic relief to entertain the reader without lessening the dramatic effect.I would highly recommend this story to sci-fi and fantasy readers alike.
