Helix: Episode 1 by Nathan M. Farrugia

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I received this book from the author in exchange for a frank and honest review, I am grateful, as otherwise I may not have selected it to read, the genre of gifted children/adults (eg X Men) is not really my normal reading fodder. However, having agreed to do this I am really surprised, it is a well written book, full of action and suspense, because of the genre it is a little predictable in places but this in no way detracts from the plot or the excitement and enjoyment I got from reading it. It was fairly obvious it is the start of a series, possibly a large one, and for the followers and fans of this genre I expect they are really happy that this series will get them hooked into Nathan's World. The main characters are beautifully created and depicted in a way that you want to care about what happens to them, the plot is full of surprises (no spoilers here!), I often found myself mentally congratulating the author for misdirecting and surprising me in ways I never expected, despite the aforementioned predictability in places. All in all a very good read by an obviously gifted author, well done Nathan Farrugia, I suspect you have a hit series here.
