This story is probably characterized as a young adult book
but in spite of my being far, far far away from being a young adult, I enjoyed
it. Paul Ringo Smith discovers life as
he knows it has been a very big lie.
Genetic engineering has run amuck under the direction of a demented
scientist by the name of Hart and he certainly doesn't have one.
This is the first book in a series. It has plenty of action and very interesting
characters. It takes the angst suffered
by teens and combines it with powers genetically engineered from past
giants. The result is kids unprepared
to deal with the skill sets that they have received.
Unintended consequences of overly successful experimentation
provides some obstacles for the nefarious Mr. Hart. The compassion shown by characters in spite
of the orchestrated conflict shows Ms. Jameson has a good grasp of the often
misunderstood teen mind.
I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next in
the series.
BTW great cover!

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
