Brief synopsis (no spoilers):
The earth is run by 3 massive companies (conglomerates). The government is essentially powerless. People are bred to be certain types of workers. Most low-level workers are clones, most high-level workers are natural born, but all are genetically engineered. A group of geniuses is chosen to breed, in hopes that they will create a more evolved generation, with better natural tech integration. That happens, but Millicent becomes attached to her baby, and decides to fight to keep her. That's not supposed to happen- most mothering instinct has been bred out of workers.
Category:
Fiction, maybe Sci-Fi
Why I chose this book:
Kindle first from a while ago
My personal opinion:
This story started out fantastically. I loved the first half of it. And I would have loved the entire thing, but the second half was very disappointing. The constant sexual innuendo was cute and fun banter at first, and then became tiresome and then disgusting. The language started fine, but became terrible. I do not recommend this book to anyone! And I'm not going to continue the series. Side warning: when multiple people are involved in a spoken conversation, generally the participants jump around in time and context. The author remains true to reality in writing, so conversations are challenging to follow, but also more fun to wade through. Some might enjoy that, others might find it confusing.
Warnings
Language: Not until the last fourth of the book, but then yes, f-bombs a'plenty!
Violence: Frequent, and generally graphic
"Adult" situations: Two situations, both fairly graphic; innuendo absolutely rampant throughout
Death: Frequent, but not major characters
Movie rating equivalent:
R
Protagonist description:
Ryker was bred to be a Director in the security department, and is very muscular and adept at fighting. Millicent was bred to be a weapons expert- she's a genius and very fit, and also adept at fighting.
Point of view of story:
Third
Book length:
Medium-long
Story flow:
Excellent, very fast-paced
Grammar and spelling issues:
None
