Science Fiction
Date Published: June 17, 2014
In a world where a gifted few can manipulate reality with their minds, two great nations—Calchis and Orion—employ these psionic powers in a covert war for global superiority.
In the heart of Calchis, a powerful young psion named Aaron Waverly is kidnapped, and forcibly conscripted. To the north, in the capital, a plan is hatched to decimate Orion, to be carried out by the ruthless operative known only as “Agent.”
In Orion, fresh recruit Stockton Finn comes to terms with his incredible new powers, and learns firsthand how dangerous they can be. Meanwhile, officers Nyne Allen and Kay Barrett navigate the aftermath of their shattered love affair, oblivious to the fact that Calchis draws ever closer to destroying the tenuous peace.
Finally, in the arctic land of Zenith, Calchan archaeologist Faith Santia unearths a millennia-old ruin. This lost temple might just hold the hidden history of psionic powers, as well as hints of a deeper mystery . . . that could shake the foundations of all mankind.
My Review
An explosive start to a new Sci-Fi series. Dan Levinson manages to draw readers into his world and captivate us with his writing and characters. I think my main praise for Levinson would be his ability to use vivid descriptions to make the reader feel like they are in the world with the characters.
Being that this is the first in the series, there is a lot to wrap your head around. I loved the way that he is able to introduce us to all of the new places and things without us feeling bogged down with detail.
A smooth plot that keeps readers engaged throughout really rounds out the writing for me.
This is the first in a series and we have a bit of an abrupt ending, but I'm definitely looking forward to what comes next.
