A Young Adult Sci-fi story by author Sally Ann Melia. It is a fairly long novel reaching a little over 400 pages on my reader app. This story does have a very strong plot line. It has quit a bit of suspense and action through out the whole book. The book has enough going on to keep the interest of the reader and leave them wondering what will happen next. I did enjoy the book and I do look forward to reading the next books in the series. The story is creative in the way it incorporates others ideas into it. It is not a truly unique thought or idea. The plot is a little different from others but it is only different in ways of how they relate. For instance The Borg in this book are basically Terminators. The two warring factions are like Star Wars with the Empire, and the Rebel alliance. In all actuality the book appears to be written from someone that walked into Wal-Mart and went to the movie section and picked up about 10 titles and went to work on how they could be used in a single book. I can see where this book draws on Game of Thrones with "the bastards" and how they are treated and led to a life of prostitution. The telepathic ability when touching the Gorans (large cats) from Avatar. Even from the boys fighting in an arena possibly street fighter. The rescue of the prince to me relates a lot on Escape from L.A.
The story is loosely based on the Game of Thrones with the deception and deadly games played to achieve their wanted outcome. Guy Erma desperately wants to join the planetary protection force known as the Dome Elite. Then we have Prince Teodor, who becomes a hostage to the borg. Now these to boys are a primary focus for the plot of the story. They are boy young teens thirteen/fourteen ages. This story deals with a three day time period. So there is a lot going on in a very short time. There is a lot more and many other protagonists and antagonist I did not mention because I do not wish to write a spoiler.
If you are a fan of Sci-Fi, thriller, suspenseful, action books. This is a must read for sure. It does have a great plot and a lot of excitement. I did enjoy the book and it has a lot of potential in upcoming books to this series. I would like to thank Hocmaa Publishing (Hocmaa@gmail.com) and affiliates for sending me this book to read and leave my opinion. I look forward to the next installment of this series. This book is available in e-book, paperback, and hard cover.
