Description

What is the legal definition of human? Is there something beyond a psychopath? Are humans still at the top of the food chain? These questions and their answers play a central role in Apex Predator. The novel is inspired by true events and utilizes real evolutionary, forensic psychiatry and cognitive science, making it truly frightening and thought-provoking. The story, however, begins with Steven Loomis, a man, a father looking for answers after his daughter's kidnapping and brutal murder. He wants to understand what drives monsters like the one that kidnapped and killed his daughter. What he discovers is that his daughter’s killer was just the tip of the iceberg; that there are far more sinister and powerful forces at play, forces that Steven was not expecting nor prepared for. He realizes that what he has found is the most significant and real threat that humanity has ever faced. And while he wants to simply grieve like a father that lost his little girl, he realizes that he must play a role he is neither sure he is ready for nor willing to play. He ultimately understands that only he can warn the world about the threat, only he can do something about it. Steven Loomis finds himself in the fight of his life as he tries to warn the world of the threat, to protect his family and to keep himself out of prison.

Review:  APEX PREDATOR

Clever, cunning, insightful: this up-close and personal look at sociopathy illustrates the process of such minds, illuminates their sense of entitlement (imagine a toddler grown large, with power and deception: "I want that, I will have it--NOW!!"), their inability to empathize, sympathize, or understand others. Author J. L. Faura gives us the "inside view" of these predators, those who stand at the top of the food chain because they lack conscience as does a shark or jellyfish.

I reviewed a digital copy provided via StoryCartel for review purposes. No fees were exchanged.

Steven has lost his daughter, and worse than anything, she died murdered. You can imagine how desperate, hurt, angry and raw he feels. But he wants to help the police, and as an ex-SEAL, he can. While learning about his daughter's killer, he realizes he is facing a race of sociopaths, super humans, ready to kill and destroy for nothing, for th pleasure of i. The book is brilliant, but disturbing and frigthening because it is possible...
