"I had somehow hoped we might be able to find some way maybe, I don’t know. Yes, in fact, it was my hope, to study them and learn a way to communicate with them. However, even when cuts heal, they leave scars, scars leave memories. Too many scars will leave too many memories. Now we are going to have to wipe them out if we can."
Containment Breach by Wm. A. Yandell is a whirlwind of a book about a bioengineering scientist, named Walter Smithton, and his small team recruited by two higher world forces, the Army and the Alliance troops, to help eliminate a serious threat to all of mankind known as the Creatures. The Army and Alliance troops have their feuds, the leaders each wanting personal gain. Read this book to see the lengths in which they go through to achieve this and to learn if the threat ever gets stopped.
I rate this lovely book 3 out of 4. I felt the book's pacing was well done. It kept me hooked throughout, and it was very suspenseful from the first few pages in to the last pages out. There were also many themes touched in the book that was very thought-provoking and raw that it was very hard to not feel sadness and anger for the characters in this book. By the end of the story, it will be hard for any reader to not root for the Creature's survival. It’s the type of book that makes you think about the story long after you have finished reading. I deducted a star because there were way too many errors that although didn’t mess with the storyline in the greater sense, it did distract me every time I spotted a missing word or a wrong word used. Sometimes the errors would come within one page of each other which to me suggests not much editing has been done. Also, there was one too many run-on sentences and run-on thoughts. Sometimes shorter ideas get the point across better.
I would have loved a chapter on the Creatures' point of view early on but we were not given that until the end of the book; I can understand Yandell's reason for this though. I was able to predict the ending but there were a few surprise plot twists throughout the book that I believe readers will enjoy as I have.
The themes presented in this book are trust, loyalty, power of memories, revenge, good versus bad, friendship, betrayal, suffering, power and corruption, survival, mind reading and telepathy, family and forgiveness.
This book is recommended to anybody who has a taste for action, science fiction, and those themes touched on above. This book won't be for those that dislike the genre, and who shy away from gory descriptions. Due to the nature of some violent descriptive scenes, I would recommend the age group for young adults and above. This book is very mild in its usage of profane or vulgar words and erotic scenes.
