If you have an endless supply of money and could do anything you want, what would you do?

Dr. Nero Karlin uses his resources in discovering a cure for addiction; creating a healthier, happier world; and continuously searching for new and improved ways to enhance the quality of life for people who have medical issues. On the other side, his unquenchable thirst for murder enables him to wield a 24" razor-sharp machete to wipe the vile human beings (murderers, rapists, sex offenders, money extortionists, etc.) out of existence. Will he triumph in both quests?

The publisher was not mentioned, so I assumed Evinall by Adam Witkowski was self-published in 2018. The title (Evinall) is the name of the "wonder drug of the twenty-first century" invented by Dr. Nero Karlin to fulfill his promise to his beloved wife, Eve Brooks. He named it after her. Its subtitle “There will forever be some Eve in all of us” serves as its title's expanded meaning. This is a standalone read.

Of all the characters in this story, Dr. Nero Karlin was my favorite. I admired his careful planning and precise timing. I wish his inventions - Automated Diagnostic Machines (ADM), Robopharmacist, and Evinall - will come to life in order to eradicate fatigue and to have healthy people around the world. I recognized the help of Nero's trusted buddy, Russ. He had done his part as a chef and as Nero's witty accomplice. Together, they were able to stop the robbery led by Dr. Silas Wilde, the mad scientist carrying a gun-toting ape on his back. Nero will face a new nemesis in the next sequel, and I was sold on its blurb the moment I read it. Adam Witkowski is now one of my favorite authors.

This fast-paced story could spark the readers’ imaginations. It is a captivating read with a compelling concept and well-developed world. Adam's writing is vivid, engaging, thrilling, and easy for the average reader to follow. The transition of events and the information about the characters and worldbuilding were skillfully presented. Even though not flawless, the characters were realistic. I did not find any loophole in the characters' ingenious conversations. There was nothing I disliked in this book.

Adam Witkowski's Evinall deserves nothing less than the perfect rating (4 out of 4 stars). I encountered only a few easy-to-fix errors that did not hinder my reading flow. This book is for those who are looking for an epic, well fleshed out, and plot-driven stories. I recommend it to the lovers of Crime / Thriller / Horror / Mystery stories. Sensitive readers and young audiences must avoid this book due to the gory scenes, cannibalism, and foul language.

Wow. That's quite the dichotomy. A protagonist who wants to help those with medical issues but has an unquenchable thirst for murder. I really need to read this to see how the author pulls that one off. Thanks.

A...a...a gun-toting ape? What in the world? Now I want to read this.

Oh my, this sounds like everything that I look for in a book! (Gun-toting ape not included because it is surprising, but why not, right?) Thanks for the review!
