Book 1 of Misbegotten Empire Series

De: Chris Bresie

On the water world Apollo, every island fights its own shadow war.
The Patton Armory stands at the center of them all.
When fourteen-year-old Mark Alexander inherits the empire, the shadows come for him.
They don’t just try to kill him — they try to destroy him first.
But Mark isn’t a victim. He’s evolving.

The Misbegotten Empire is a sci-fi thriller where every smile hides a betrayal.

Hard to care about any of the characters

I gave it a try, but just couldn’t finish. At first it was the flat narration. I looked back to find that it’s computer generated. There are some ai narration schemes that are effective. This ain’t one of those. It seemed to be a low rent cousin.

The writer might be computer generated too. The characters are lifeless. The kid is a dead fish. Did he have sex with those girls? If he did or did not would have been a least mentioned. If I had woken up drunk in bed with two girls I would have said something. The vague plot was on a cookie cutter course where nothing clever happened. The plan to steal the company needed a clear antagonist to make it a thriller. The Blackwood guy was a blowhard and a jerk sending in mercenaries. Then some other guy comes to take the kid away. None of the characters dynamic enough to keep the names straight.
