First a confession.During the first few pages of I,The Provocateur I noted the frequent run on sentences, the heavy use of adverbs and adjectives,the unusual sentence structure,and wondered how I would get through such a strange novel.A few more pages and the brilliance and uniqueness of the author's writing style was apparent. I was drawn into the tale and enjoyed the many twists and turns and especially the dry humor.Set almost 1,000 years in the future the vile brutal nature of the planet Remania's totalitarian regime doesn't seem at all far fetched.I suspect the author drew material from totalitarian practices and means of control being practiced today. .They've only been enhanced and made more universal by the passage of time.The writing style is different and takes a little getting used to. Once into the flow I enjoyed the unique style and applaud the authors skill at creating a planet of many horrors and a tale that kept interest.I look forward to reading more novels by Vardan Partamyan.
