Description

The Prometheus Man is a thriller about last remaining frontier in the world: ourselves.

The story begins as a manhunt for a serial killer and explodes into a race to uncover an experimental program that would rip apart humankind. The characters are people we come to love: a young drifter without a family, a hard-bitten party girl, a CIA agent called upon to hunt down a traitor he admires.

Inspired by Mary Shelley’s classic Frankenstein, The Prometheus Man is about characters going all the way to the edge of existence—then staring in horror as they realize they’ve reached the pitface of the abyss.

Review for 'The Dark Continent ' by Scott Reardon

Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Aspen press.

This is the first book that I have read by this author. It definitely won't be my last!!! It is the second book in the 'Prometheus Man' series. I haven't read any of his other books and this can definitely be read as a standalone.

THE book is written in 2 'books' with some chapters a few pages long and others just one which is ideal if you just want to read 'one more chapter', in my case this never happens.

I picked this title from NetGalley a while back and when I first reread the blog I thought why on Earth did I pick this book? I was actually dreading reading it and thought well I'm going to hate this book and it will drag. Omg did it prove me wrong!!

From the explosive beginning to the fantastic end I was completely sucked into the storyline. I absolutely loved it!!

It is very well written with excellent descriptions and the characters are fantastic, strong and compelling, I couldn't get enough of them. If you have ever read Stephen King's 'The Stand' you will know what I mean when I say Kronin reminds me of Randall Flagg!!

It is ram packed with violence, gore, action, suspense , tension, murder, I could go on!! It was very fast paced and action packed, I flew through it.

THE story is told mainly via Ellen, Tom and Karl so you get to 'see' everything that is going on through their eyes.

THE plot reminded me of a mix of Stephen Kings 'The Stand', 'The Bourne identity' 'Hannibal' and '28 days later' all rolled into one book of madness.

I would HIGHLY recommend this book to fans of action, horror, suspense, crime, gore, horror, dystopia, I could go on!! If your looking for a fast paced book this one is for you!!

436 pages

Free on kindle unlimited or 99p to purchase on kindle. I think this is an extremely good price for this book!! Grab a bargain while you can!!

Rated 5/5 ( I loved it! ) on Goodreads, Instagram, Amazon UK and Co.uk and on over 30 Facebook pages plus my blog on Facebook.
