I was recently sent this book to read and leave a review of by email with a pdf file from the publishing company. (Slipstream Publishing) This book was written by author Brian K. Larson. This is the first book of his series and my first read from this author. The book A.M.P. (Amplified Mental Prosection) to me is a CIA type espionage story crossed with The Borg from Star Trek meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It is definitely a new read and idea for a story. I have never came across a book with a similar plot line yet. The book has a good story and is not a bad read once an understanding of where the book is going. Sometimes it looses focus as I call it on the plot and strays making it kind of difficult to follow or understand. Most of the time in the book the reader catches up with what happened prior during the story but remains a little confused till then. The author appears to be somewhat new because the book changes in format through out. Sometimes in the story line the details are so descriptive that it almost takes away from the story and in other parts it is lacking in detail making it a very slow moving story. I do hope that this author does continue to write and form into one of the greats authors of our time. I do see great potential for this Author.
The story line of this book is based on the future, 50 years. It is about "The Company" and some alien technology with the ways it is used, what the effects are, and how to try to control it. For the most part this book will keep your interests but there are some slow parts due to lack of description. The jumping around part and lack of some details may have been what the author was going for in parts to work the readers imagination more possibly. It did make it a bit confusing. Overall if syfy thriller type stories are on the shelf then this is a must read.
I would like to thank Hocmaaa Publishing and all other parties that sent me this book and allowing me to write a review.
