INCARNEX Review
Right from the beginning, we get pulled into a fascinating dystopian world. After a brief glimpse at David’s life before his compound caused the economic upheaval of the UK and much of the world, called the Divide, we witness his death. No spoiler here, the compound he created sort of ‘resurrects’ people. Then we follow him as the protagonist on a journey to discover the truth. He is not sure what to believe or who to trust, and often chooses wrong.
Amid the mystery behind how his compound, created to help the world, caused so much damage and his race to fix it, David finds himself in the center of conspiracies and lies. Along the way, with a clock ticking away his days, David meets Victoria and her daughter Celia. What stood out to me among the action, conspiracy, mystery, was the relationship that develops between David and young Celia. The author says he drew on his experience as a father and it shows.
I appreciated the satisfactory ending even though it is book one of trilogy. I’m never too happy to be left on a huge cliffhanger on the first installment of a series, and this does not do that. I look forward the next book.
4/5 stars for being engaging from the start and full of suspense.
