I’m looking forward to digging into this book to find out how Reardon will be able to stop the “rash” from depriving the world of color when he himself suffers from a literal colorless life.

I can’t begin to imagine what life was like for Sergeant Miles. I will like to find out how they were able to overcome the spreading ‘rash’. This sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for the review

You did such a good job describing this book. It's difficult to imagine life without color.

This seems like a very interesting sci-fi thriller. A color-blind man to guard researchers trying to find a cure for a very colorful rash is a plot of a different color. I love the cover art, too! Congratulations on BOTD!

This is a very scarcely explored topic for sci-fi! I love that County has taken this rare condition to the max with a disease that causes it. It does seem frustrating that he leaves the rash unexplained, but your review has left me wanting to read on! Thanks for your opinion!

It nice, I guess, I'm just not particularly interested. His type of colorblindness is more on the extreme side, since he can't even see other colors other than gray, and somehow that helps with the case. The review was well written but read too much of a cliché, I've read something similar to this before, though I'm sure the premise is the only thing that are the same, but the review doesn't offer much detail on the sci-fi and fantasy elements except that the rash is explainable by science fiction logic and that some of the cast are experts in that brand of science. I'm just interested in high fantasy or sci-fi, where world building can make up the plot.

While this wouldn't be my first choice for a book as I prefer fantasy more, your review did pique my interest.

I'm looking forward to reading about Sargeant Miles.

Great review. 👍

Interesting read indeed with wonderfully developed characters. How is he a doctor who is color blind? This is an exciting one I must say, though I don't love science fiction stories would love to read this one. Thanks for the great review.
His an awesome God !!! :coffee1-smiley:

This book is very interesting indeed.
The placements of the characters and the arts are very well done.
He does have a really bad colorblindness since he can't see other colors aside grey. I particularly like reading sci-fi books but I highly recommend this book to all people 😄😄😄

The cover tells the intensity of this story. This challenges the character of Sergeant Miles for being colorblind.
Reading is a journey to the world.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting science fiction story about a colorblind army officer who is tasked with discovering the cure for a strange rash that deprives the infected of color. It might be worth a second look. Well done.
