Review
Captivating, action packed and thrilling!
Kill Code is written in the first person of the main character, Hogan Duran.
Hogan lives a dead beat life following the tragic incident that cause him to retire early from the police force. He struggles daily fighting for work to be able to put food on the table and the work he can get is always hard and grueling.
For months Hogan has been applying to become an NSC officer, each time receiving the same letter to tell him that his application has been unsuccessful except this time it is different.
Taking a deep breath, I ripped the envelope open and pulled out an official- looking letter. I scanned the note quickly as Max peered over my shoulder. ‘Well?’
This futuristic novel is fairly short but so cleverly written. I find most short stories run the risk of missing the plot and cramming too much into the story. The pace of this book is perfect. Clive devotes the first 40% of the book to setting the scene of Hogans mundane life after the tragic end to his life as a cop. I have read some review that suggest this is a slow start. But lets not forget this is the first book in a trilogy. After the first 40% the story really takes off. Once Hogan is at NCS training I would not put the book down.
If you liked Hunger Games or Maze Runner you will definitely enjoy this book. It has the same suspense feel to it. Each chapter leaves you wondering what will happen in the next.
The plot twists are great and not what you would be able to guess. I must admit after the twist, I read the rest of the book wondering if there was going to be another twist. I do not want to give too much away because I recommend you get the book but when you read it you will know what I mean!
Overall
I would definitely recommend this book and I have already recommended it to my book group. I’m eagerly waiting for the sequel.
Thank you
