My Review
I received
a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. It’s
the year 2027 and America is falling apart.
America is in the deep in its Second Depression and Florida has
experienced its worse hurricane in history, meanwhile a second one is heading
to Texas. Now we have terrorists on our
soil, a corrupt government, and the entire Middle East has banded
together.
Although
the story starts slowly, this was a really great dystopian novel. It was pretty interesting to get stories from
different points of view. The
descriptions of everything was amazing, I felt like I was living it
myself. The further I got into the book,
the more captivating the story became, primarily because quite a bit of this
could possibly happen in our future…scary, but very true. My favorite character was Howard Beck; to me,
he was the greatest character. He has Asperger's Syndrome, found his niche and now he’s the
world’s richest man, and a BRILLIANT AI creator. I really appreciated this, because truth be told, a child with Asperger's is brilliant at whatever their interest is, not many people realize that. This is one book that I’ll buy for
friends, it'll scare them about our future. Awesome first novel for Richard
Stephenson!!! Book two is expected this
summer and I can’t wait!
Richard Stephenson was born in 1975 in Denison, TX and spent his
childhood in North Texas. In 1992, he graduated high school after only
three years. He then pursued his degree at Oklahoma Christian
University, once again accomplishing the task in three years. Richard
then married his best friend before going off to basic training to be a
military policeman with the US Army. With his new wife joining the
adventure, they spent the next four years at Fort Polk, LA and had two
children.
Just before his son turned five, Richard and his wife were told that their oldest child had Asperger's Syndrome. Nine years later, Richard's son would become the inspiration for the character of Howard Beck.
After leaving the armed forces, Richard continued his law enforcement career in the federal sector and has been with the Department of Justice for twelve years.
