Elite

Elite #1

by Joseph C. Anthony

Daniel Hart stood, staring at himself in the mirror. He had experienced a complete physical transformation in a remarkably short period of time. Just three weeks ago no one would have looked twice at someone like Daniel, but a revolutionary procedure had helped to transform him into something spectacular. He was now beyond human, he was better.He had once believed that the day Jordan moved to Chicago would be the greatest of his life, but it had proven otherwise. Daniel could not compete with Gordon Demers, one of Chicago’s wealthiest and most powerful up-and-comers. Demers had been the true reason for Jordan’s relocation, and all of his money and influence brought with it a physical attraction that Jordan could not resist – even if it meant breaking Daniel’s heart.Daniel had soon after lost his job, and with it his ability to remain in Chicago. He knew then that he had no choice but to accept the offer given to him by an ex-CIA agent and his eccentric partner. The experimental brain surgery he had to undergo held incredible risk – yes, but it had been his only option.The operation had been a success. Daniel was now capable of controlling every single function in his entire body, even those previously out of reach from his conscious mind. It was time for him to put Jordan aside. He was now working for the most elite personal security force on the planet, and would soon be hired to protect high profile individuals from the world’s deadliest assassins.First he would need to establish himself. He needed to train to become the top ranked agent at Elite Personal Security Force and prove himself to be the superior being the revolutionary procedure had turned him into. Anything less wouldbe considered failure.

2.5 stars

The book wasn't too bad. My main issue was that large parts read like a romance with sci fi elements, as opposed to the reverse I was expecting. I also didn't find the main character very engaging.

Not very impressed with the shallow main character and everything else.

Good book, needs editing

Enjoyed this action filled book, but have to agree with previous posters that more editing and research would have benefitted the story. Daniel grows in the story, but overall, he is rather shallow and remains hung up on his past love interest. I will look forward to reading number two.

good story. needs better editing found typos and words used poorly or incorrectly. also needs to research anatomy a bit more. The adrenal glands are not part of the brain - they sit on top of the kidneys. otherwise enjoyable. looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
