Woah... this is definitely unique and creative. I wish it didn't involve the military, though... but I think if give the opportunity to review it, I would definitely go for it. I want to see how far the author took this idea.

The first thing I did when I saw the title of this book was googled what chromatophobia means. The definition said, "it's an abnormal and persistent fear of money." So, I would like to read this book and find out how that term correlates with this brilliant backstory. Otherwise, I cannot wait to read this story and find out the answers to these questions you pondered while reading along.

Wonderful cover photo I must confess. By the way. This book, Chromatophobia, has such an amazing thriller. It's also quite fascinating that the writer, W. D. County could maintain such audience tension with Sci-fi. It almost sounded horror to me. I think it's a very great work. Although, I noticed some profanity.
Nice review also. Quite thrilling. It created a lot of suspense in me that I just had to read it.

This is definitely a book worth the Book Of The Day. It has interesting characters that are fully developed. It has a great plot that can keep the readers intrigued and it is very informative, you would learn a thing or two about color blindness. Definitely a great book and worth your time, congrats on the BOTD.

Good review and I have read the sample of the book and now I can't wait to read more from the book, it sounds so good. And I think being a colour blind myself makes me an overqualified reader, but I have never met anyone in my life who is as blind to colours as seargent miles is.

i’m very interested on the colourblind part
i’m usually familiar with the concept of it, but i’m not sure i’ve seen anyone or any character in this case, who sees completely gray. Interesting book!

The beginning of this book cap time immediately with the suspense of the initial assignment the main character had in targeting the “sea hag.” The next twist further gained my interest with the unveiling of his next assignment. The move to a science fiction plot drew me in. Every new chapter brings further intrigue. This will definitely be on my “ must read” list!

I think it's a unique blend !, the hero is colour blind and that makes him immune ...., there's so much creativity to it because normally we have mutants or zombies and aliens but colour 😊.
I think it's worth my read .I like the cover photo it's cold and colourful too.

This sounds like what I would definitely enjoy reading and the book cover is quite alluring. There's also the fact that it's a new concept to me and the characters are sometimes at odds with each other. Great review!

The book chromatophobia just as the title focuses on the character Miles who is immune to colors. This might be a blessing in disguise as a rash is spreading out affecting everyone except him who is color blind. This book sounds intriguing. Congrats BOTD!

Science fiction using colour blindness as a tool to solve a mystery. Interesting. It has science theories but also amidst other practices magic weaved into the plot. I would like to read this sometime to find out more.
