Hammel has been sent by the FBI to investigate Gollitok island with a crew that he has mostly never met before. Their goal is to determine what is going on on the abandoned prison island and make sure there are no rebel forces. However, most of the team has some ties to this island having either been there themselves or had family there. As the investigation progresses they are met with challenge after challenge, including things that shouldn't be humanly possible. Can the crew make it out with their investigation complete or will they even escape with their lives?
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. The book starts off a bit slow and it took me a minute to get into it, but I promise you it is worth it. This is the second book I have read by this author and he has a twisted sense of style that I kind of love. It is dark, brooding, with a strong paranormal presence. And I don't mean ghost, demons, and the like. He takes it a step farther with things you don't normally think about, unless you are one of the scientists in order games.
This is a post-apocalyptic book where everyone either works for the government or is struggling just to eat every month. Not much of a choice, really. Still, even those that have fallen in line aren't necessarily in the government's good graces. Even the actions of their families can pave the way for dangers.
If you're a fan of the older style gaming of the journals that say things about they've developed some kind of new creature and someone has been poking it with a stick for the last 48 hours and they really hope it doesn't get loose, followed by it getting loose, you will like this book. While that isn't exactly what happens here it fits pretty well.
I really liked the jellyfish and birds aspect of this book. Something that you wouldn't think much about and then doom. The characters are interesting enough in the book, but I was more interested in all the things that could kill them.
This book is available on Kindle Unlimited or buy it on Amazon for $5.99 by clicking here.
I take that back. It WILL be available on the above things as of November, 24, 2023. Completely forgot this was an ARC. I'm sorry. Still, a great book and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I did once you get to read it.
