Reviews

[G. Nolan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I went with four stars over three because after I read it and thought about it the more I liked it. Division Six is a fun read that has all the elements of great Sci-Fi from ray guns to mutants. The story plays out around the mystery of a missing girl and her wealthy father who spends his fortune to find her. A detective, Jack Hennessey, with a "hidden" talent hires on to solve a mystery of his own.
The book feels like a 1950's detective story with over the top 1950's horror movie monsters and gadgets. I loved all the characters even the villan and could see this book set up for sequels.
