Project Mimic by John Black is a fast-paced book that reads a lot like you are watching a movie. You will keep turning pages to see the next scene painted before your eyes. It is science fiction set in a war-torn futuristic world. The action centers on the results of genetic experimentation, cryogenics and use of nano technology similar to Star Trek's borg (i.e. technology-enhanced humans and soldiers). The action takes place during a world war where the broken factions left are the United Protection Force and the New Nation Alliance who are both trying to capture and utilize the next generation technology found in the "Project Mimic" test subjects who have been genetically and technologically enhanced in an effort to turn the tide of war. Clearly the writer can write and creates strong visual and action-based story movement, however there is almost no character development in the book so it is hard to connect to the characters. If you like action movies and science fiction, you'll like this book.
