I have a great fondness for science fiction from the old classics like Dune to the new (classic in the making) "Section 51". This novel was superb, mixing together a whole lot of what the science fiction genre does best with the supernatural/fantasy genre to create an imaginative and exciting plot that keeps you on your toes. VG Harrison does a great job of keeping the plot fast-paced with vivid detail, well thought-out characters, a creative plot idea and a truly inspired writing style. "Section 51" explores the idea that the supernatural world is just an extension of the science fiction one, bridging cross-breeding of human and alien genes to create these "mythical" creatures that could very well prove the ultimate danger to to Earth's inhabitants, but not in the way you would think... the real danger comes from within the human race, a man bent on creating unstoppable soldiers for an army that he would command and conquer with.The novel exemplifies science fiction at its best, keeping a mix of technology, aliens, thrills and suspense to make the reader eagerly flipping from one page to another to find out what is going to happen next. It was a fun and entertaining read that proved to be a great introduction to VG Harrison as a writer and has me eager to see what else the author comes up with next.
