Review of Predator / Nomad
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Predator / Nomad" by Daniel Micko.]
Predator / Nomad by Daniel Micko opens with a grand parade for the newly elected governor, Prince Faruq, the emir of Buraydah, Saudi Arabia. Here, we get an introduction to Dr. Jordan Roberts. The scientist is seeking funding for her new project on genetic acceleration of growth. She initiates a conversation with someone she thinks is the prince's bodyguard. She later learns that it was none other than Princess Saleh. After a few days and through a series of meetings, she meets the Prince and Princess, and convinces him to sponsor her research in exchange for curing diseases among the city's citizens.
This is when Princess and the scientist develop their relationship. It was the fact that the scientist was not willing to share her methods of curing or the lab where she works that led Saleh to doubt her. The princess reaches out to Interpol and other international organizations to learn who else supports Jordan's work, and she learns who is backing this project.
What will become of the scientist and her project on human cloning? Will people ever discover Jorden's secret? What led to Prince Faruq's suicide? What does Princess Saleh do after the alleged suicide of her brother? The answers are contained in this book.
What I liked in this work is that the author made sure that we, the readers, had an excellent plot involving human cloning in the sci-fi genre. The characters we get introduced to while reading are crucial, and the writer has done them all justice. I particularly enjoyed the portrayal of Princess Saleh. She was commendable in the way she fought off her recent lover, Dr. Jordan, for the interests of her country and for the sake of humanity. The way she explains to her brother what he is doing with his life will have an impact on their city and the people in it, demonstrates her fierce and audacious nature. There wasn't anything to dislike in the book, either about scenes or characters.
A sense of quality and standard is evident in the book, balancing crime thriller with science fiction. However, I did notice a small typo while reading. Aside from this error, the book is perfectly edited and proofread. Despite the complexity of the topic, the novel is written in simple language, making it easy to comprehend. Though there is profanity, it does not contain graphic language. The novel also keeps a steady pace throughout, making it an enjoyable read. This book is recommended especially to young adults who love to read science fiction crime thrillers.
For the plot and characterization that Daniel Micko has given in Predator / Nomad, I give it four out of four stars. This book is a good addition to the library of anyone interested in crime thrillers and scientific fiction involving human cloning.
