Reviews
This book is great. It's unique, has great plot twists, and very well written. I could personally relate to the character, as I love motorcycles and am a fighter. To all the haters- all of whom admittedly didn't read past ten percent, all mad because it wasn't exactly like their fav version of some rpg or whatever- suck it. You don't know how to recognize a good adventure novel. To the author- bro great job with the military dialogue. The PC's conversation versus the NPC's conversation made me laugh and cry- you sir, are a badass. I'm officially a fan. This book has an incredible world that keeps surprising me with how intelligently created it is. The main character is a badass, but not in an obnoxious way. The female characters have their own stories and personalities and aren't just walking blow-up dolls. I love all the nods to my favorite nerd stuff: Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider series, Ark Evolved, Final Fantasy. Featuring snarky humor that made me spit out water, but also the darker side of human nature... I could go on and on, but the one thing you need to know is that series is AWESOME!
