Geniuses, super-powers, intrigue, shoot’em-ups, a hint of the wanna-smooches, and a surprisingly gentle and solid relationship between a husband and his ex-wife that didn’t include a lust to get back together.Brilliance, first in th...

A quick fun read with with an interesting take on an alternate history story. The characters, with the exception of the MC, possibly could have used some fleshing out but this did not really detract from my enjoyment in reading this novel.

I look forward to the next two books. It is a suspense-filled mystery that falls into the genre of Science Fiction & Fanta...
