Another stellar read from the author of the Extinction Series!

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2019

James D. Prescott has delivered on his promise with his latest technothriller that weaves an original plot with great character development into a compelling read that is quite difficult to put down.
I first discovered Prescott’s work when I found The Genesis Conspiracy quite by accident on an Amazon Top 100 Chart. Since then I’ve worked my way through the Extinction Series and have been waiting patiently for his latest book – Augmented.
This is a difficult book to review without giving too much away and spoiling the story and the various plot twists, but I can tell you that I had a few very unproductive days at work due to the late nights sharing Ben Fisher's journey as he tries to discover who he really is after suffering memory loss.
A solid 5 star read and highly recommended to readers of a variety of genres, not just technothriller and science fiction.

Well paced and interesting

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019

A very readable fiction with lots of action and tension. It had a very good twist at the end too which makes it differ from the usual Sci Fi cliché plots. Less impressive is the writing and the cliché narrative devices. Writing is readable and solid but has little artistry or complexity one might find in more recognised classic fiction. I tire of the evil alien trop. the evil foreigner troops, especially the evil Iranian or Chinese and the romance which fine is pretty much a cliché too. so some elements of this most readable text might be improved for me anyway.

Having just completed my 2nd read through (i had the pleasure of reading a pre-published version), i can ONLY say that the story hits ALL of my favorite topics; sci-fi, travel, mystery, adventure with a crafty weave of plots and sub-plots !!! I TOTALLY recommend this book and thank you J.D. Prescott for allowing me to join you on this most excellent journey ;-)

Another near future scfi that is believable now. The author is obviously very up to date on more technology, including cutting edge genetic engineering science as well as the usually digital explosion currently taking place around the world. The story follows a very possible future where humans can become genetically enhanced for a price and the possible exploitation of such technology. Riveting to the end, this is a book I would highly recommend to all scfi enthusiasts,

Exciting read

The book was fast paced from cover to cover. There was some suspension of disbelief required in a few sections, but the drama and surprises were welcome. Rather than recapping the book the recommendation is to just read it. It is worth it.

Fun and entertaining

A very good and entertaining ride. There is enough intrigue and action to keep you up at night with high tech futuristic devices that are grounded in today’s headlines. All and all a good fun ride.

I really enjoy a book where I end up googling things to see if it might be possible. Great research and when combined with a good story line and development of characters it makes for a great read.

Why Could It Not Happen?

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019

A spin on reality that is very much plausible. The author really captured the essence and behaviour of current day mankind; and human behaviour that can be seen in society today really solidified the story...

It was something, what can I say; it was tough to put the book down. It had everything a good story needs but never got caught up in the weeds; murder, chases, sci-fi, conspiracy, etc.

It builds like a good story should and finishes cleanly; so glad I picked it up.

Very interesting story line

Very impressive storyline that left you wanting more. I am a fan of study but I like it better when there is actually non fiction facts woven into science fictionr.
