I've always had a fascination with futuristic dystopian stories so when "Govicide: Comply" came to my attention I eagerly dived into the novel and found myself swept up in the world of Michael Locke and the One World Government. The well-written and exciting novel sucks you in with vivid imagery, strong characters, superbly world-building and a plot that manages to feel timeless and yet removed from reality in equal turns. Edward Dentzel has a talent for storytelling that endears you, making you see beneath the facade and pick at the veneer of a faultless government right along with Detective Locke. The novel brings up some interesting concepts about free will and the authority of governments that really resonate; managing to make you think while entertaining as well.The fast-paced novel runs the gamut of emotions and book genres, giving a little bit of everything, but still managing to form a cohesive and entertaining plot that engages the reader from beginning to end. Overall, I had a great time reading this and would definitely recommend it to other readers who are looking for a well-written science fiction dystopian novel.
