Review of Predator / Nomad
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Predator / Nomad" by Daniel Micko.]
Predator/Nomad is a sci-fi thriller written by Daniel Micko. It follows the consequences of a genetic experiment done by a scientist, Dr. Jordan Roberts. Saleh and Faruq are the princess and the prince of a province in Saudi Arabia, Buraydah. When Dr. Roberts tells them she has a way to cure their people of diseases, they agree to it. Saleh and Jordan are attracted to each other, but the secrets Jordan is hiding make Saleh wary. By the time Saleh learns about Jordan’s secret, it becomes too late and a tragedy befalls her and her family.
A few months later, Price Laurel, an aspiring actor turned independent journalist, gets intrigued by Dr. Roberts and wants to interview her. The more Price learns about Jordan and her daughter, Rita, the deeper he gets into the web of their secrets. When the results of Jordan’s experiments confront him, coupled with his own personal demons, he faces a moral conundrum that threatens his own sanity.
Predator/Nomad deals with the age old debate of the darker side of the increase in scientific experiments and technology. It asks intriguing questions about interesting subjects like genetic research and cloning. What will happen to society if human beings are cloned in massive numbers? Will these clones be given the rights of normal human beings or will their lives have no value? And if someone does cloning, will they be good or evil? These questions and ambiguity give depth to this book and make it a page turner.
The thing I liked the most about this book is its characters. Every character contributes to the plot and they all are very complex. We see Jordan as a scientist that goes any length for the sake of her research. In her quest for knowledge and money, she blurs many moral lines and even lies to herself about it. Saleh is a strong woman who has to hide her sexuality in a conservative society and yet manages to be one of the most powerful persons of her country. I found her character very inspiring and interesting.
There is nothing I disliked about the book. It seems professionally edited, as I found only a few errors. There is violence and profanity, but nothing too graphic.
I give this book 4 out of 4 stars because it is well edited and very thrilling. I recommend it to only mature readers because of the violence and profanity. I also recommend it to readers who enjoy sci-fi thrillers and mysteries.
