Review: Promising but...
Rating: 3 out of 5

I wanted to give this story a higher score but there are elements of it that grated on me. Having said that, Ward has made no bones about the  fact this story is Part One of a larger series. He is introducing a futuristic world with a complex environmental and political climate and that may have proved too much for a short story. As this series progresses and is given room to breathe there is a chance it will become something special.I will be reading further parts because it did intrigue me and I would love to know more about the HumaniX, Xigen and the caste based system that evolved in the aftermath of a massive natural disaster.Brilliant? No. A series to look out for? Most definitely.
