Rating: 4 out of 5

Although a book of novella length, there is a lot of ground covered in the pages that make up The Bionics, the first in a series of science fiction books by author Alicia Michaels. The events of this story take place far the future, in the early years of the 41st century. Telling the story of a group of individuals with bionic modifications who are part of the Resistance against the government who want to exterminate them, this first book introduces us to members of a team who are trying to save others like them.Two of the main characters are Blythe and Dax, both of whom I grew to like, as well as Gage. The book may have been short, but I felt in that time that they were well-developed. Not only that, I found it easy to be sympathetic to their plight. I also need to make mention of Agata, who is an absolutely adorable character. I know that there are two other books in this series, and I'm curious to see how events unfold and find out what happens to all of them.I'd recommend this book to any fans of bionically-modified humans or science fiction in general.
