Review by Joseph M Chiron author of TAGGED: THE APOCALYPSE.Author Brent Pearson had me at “hello” from the very first page when he said, “To those of you who are U.S.citizens yet for all practical purposes have no rights.” Despite Mr. Pearson’s light handling of his subject, I suspect there are more serious themes afoot.From there Negaman, Nick Mann gets shot in the posterior with a needle containing purple goo that unleashes his dormant superhuman potential, picks up lots of attractive women and finds himself in sexual situations with most and generally goes on lots of mad cap adventures. Negaman and his revolving door of hot female friends find themselves on the run from the US government which is determined make all its citizens docile and compliant by getting everyone hooked on a drug called Zynisone. The president even passes the Mental Well-Beingness Act into law providing that all children are entitled to Zynisone once diagnosed. The diagnosis bears striking similarities to ADHD. These efforts are spearheaded by a secret government agency called SCARI aka the Scientific and Clinical Advancement for Rehabilitation and Indoctrination. There are also numerous reversals, surprises and betrayals all leading up to a satisfying grand finale. The writing style reminded me of the “Fletch” series and the “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.”A wild and entertaining ride worth the price of admission.
