Ok. So lets start with what really works in this book.The fight scenes, explosions etc is brilliant. I loved reading them and I figure most will if that is something they love.The plot itself, the back story regarding the DNA adjustment way back when, is truly genius. I loved this but.....Ok lets do it one by one.Plot/storyGenius novel aspects but logic is to be left at the door. Seriously our hero wakes up with an alien going for the kill coming from his guts and he gets up, saves the girl and.....even maybe especially sci-fi authors must hold certain strains of logic sacred to pull of their plot lines. This is one example where a simple paragraph could have made a world of difference.2*Writing styleMostly clear and concise and in such a novel this is essential.4*Character/settingNow here is where my main complaint lies. The author wrote a bit of back story for the main protagonist. This back story is dished up cold and dispassionate and made me feel as if the author was doing a chore and could not wait to get to the action scenes. My impression carried over to the characters and I failed to connect to any of them.2*Novelty and potential5*. Seriously this author has such a unique tilt to his world building and such talent for writing action scenes that I have no doubt that we will be hearing more from him.OverallNot a bad read if you do not get stuck on the jumps on logic.WaAr
