Review of Predator / Nomad
1 posts
[Following is a volunteer review of "Predator / Nomad" by Daniel Micko.]
Predator / Nomad revolves around human cloning, one of the most complex areas of molecular biology. Written by Daniel Micko, this fictional work belongs to the crime and thriller category.
The book follows the aftermath of a genetic experiment by a scientist, Dr. Jordan Roberts. The story brings us to the Saudi Arabian province of Buraydah, where the prince and princess are Saleh and Faruq. They consent when Dr. Roberts claims to have a method of curing their people of illnesses. Despite the attraction between Saleh and Jordan, Saleh is leery of Jordan because of her secrets. When Saleh discovers Jordan's secret, it is already too late to prevent a tragedy from happening to her family.
After the incident with Saleh, Dr. Roberts piques Price Laurel's interest, and the aspiring actor-turned-independent journalist wants to speak with her. The more Price discovers about Jordan and her daughter, Rita, the more engrossed he becomes in the labyrinth of their secrets. Jordan encounters a moral quandary that jeopardizes his sanity when he sees the truth behind Jordan's experiments.
The characters in this book are what I enjoy most. Each character enriches the story in different ways. The characters are all highly nuanced. Jordan appears as a scientist who will stop at nothing to further her studies. She crosses many moral lines in her pursuit of knowledge and wealth. Saleh is a strong independent woman who must conceal her sexual orientation in a traditional society but still manages to rank among the most influential people in her nation. Her personality inspires and intrigues me. She shows her fierce and bold character when she tells her brother how what he chooses to accomplish with his life will affect their city and the people who live there.
I believe that the book's compelling plot was its greatest asset. The atmosphere in the story has me intrigued about what would happen next. Watching Saleh's efforts as she tries to learn more about Jordan's cloning projects' inner workings is entertaining. There are a few unexpected turns, particularly concerning Jordan's clones and their real motivations. The author also expertly incorporates the topic of scientific ethics into the storyline. I appreciate how the book prompts the readers to think about the limitations of genetic engineering.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it is professionally edited, and there is nothing I do not like about it. Due to the violence and vulgarity, I only recommend it to mature readers. Readers who like mysteries and science fiction thrillers should also check it out.
