Review of Predator / Nomad
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Predator / Nomad" by Daniel Micko.]
Predator / Nomad by Daniel Micko is a science fiction novel about a human clone and the intriguing things behind it. This novel sets from 1998 until 2003 and is located mostly in Saudi Arabia and California. The novel is written in the present tense.
Dr. Jordan Roberts is a great scientist who works in the field of cell regeneration and accelerated gene growth. She has the intention that the research she is doing can be financed by the prince named Emir Prince Faruq. She is a childhood friend of the prince. Then she left for Saudi Arabia to meet the prince. There they discussed the research that Jordan would do. However, Saleh, the personal bodyguard of Prince Faruq, is skeptical of Jordan's plans. He suspects that there is something behind the research, and he wants to find out if there are some unkind goals for Jordan.
One thing I like about this novel is the plot twists which are full of mystery and suspense. Slowly but surely, one by one intrigue after intrigue is peeled off by the author well. In addition to the exciting drama, the author also inserts a lot of knowledge in the health sector, especially about genetic engineering. This makes the composition between drama and science balanced, so this novel is more interesting to read. In addition, it can educate readers, especially about cloning and genetic engineering.
If there is one thing I don't like and I must mention it here, it is the lack of development of supporting characters in this novel. Actually, there are only a few main characters who play an important role in this novel, the rest of the other supporting characters are not very visible what their roles are. I think it should be omitted because there is no further development and importance in this novel. If they have not existed, the story can still develop well. Their characters are easily forgotten by readers and made to resemble each other.
I will give 4 out of 4 stars for this novel. I found only a few grammar errors in this novel. I recommend this novel can be read by adults because many themes such as sexual encounters, drugs, and crime are not suitable for young adults. Although there are many medical terms in the story, the language used is still easy to understand and the story is easy to follow. I would recommend this novel to those who like science fiction, thrillers, medical themes, and mystery.
