Project Anubis

by Jacob Russell Dring

A small town in Virginia is blindsided by the military's latest viral experiment, classified as Project Anubis. While tactical teams are sent in to handle the mess, civilians must fight to survive in the midst of what they perceive to be an outbreak of bloodthirsty werewolves.

This is a 2023 rewrite of the 2016 novel of the same name, featuring entire pages of new material, deleted dialogue, abridged narrative, altered scenes, interactions, and the correction of technical inaccuracies for a more realistic, but still engaging, immersive, dramatic reading experience.

I overall enjoyed the take on this trope, but the pacing was oddly off. Moments were it was so exciting, I wanted to keep reading.... to moments, I was bored to tears.

While an interesting book to read Project Anubis at times was a little slow for my liking and constantly switching characters was a little disorientating breaking the pace of the novel. However saying that the concept of a viral outbreak (while a little over done) works well in this context as while people in the novel are turned into "carriers" the fact that any injury or disability they have doesn't suddenly be cured when they are turned.
Overall while I feel the pacing is broken at multiple points I would likely re read it in the future as I find the overall concept very interesting and likely a follow up could improve upon and continue the story that has been told.
