A message that will change the world. The message is a warning.


REVIEW:

To be honest if you’re looking for something far from the norm in the genre then this is a book that you’ll be more than interested in reading, as author Sarah Lotz first solo title brings a fictional series of event together in a non-fiction concoction written by one of the characters.

It’s a book that has strange events within, blending mystery, science fiction and of course journalistic fictional interviews that help give the story a believability and of course a timeline that wends its way drawing the reader in deeper with each passing chapter. All round, it’s definitely a strange book and for me it’s one that I really enjoyed as I had the chance to depart from my normal reading. Great stuff.
