About the author
Wayne Basta
12 books23 followersAs a child, Wayne Basta was introduced to science fiction at a young age by his father. Mainstream hits like Star Trek and Star Wars were followed by old Tom Swift novels and then classics like Asimov and Clarke. Growing up on Florida’s space coast only served to fuel his imagination and love of space, science and adventure.
At the age of 9, his family got their first home computer, an old Macintosh Plus, and he immediately used it to start writing science fiction adventure stories. He continued writing as a hobby all the way through college at the University of Florida, where he initially pursued a career in the US Navy until an injury changed his plans. Wayne then spent several years teaching high school and working in the education non-profit sector before coming back to his old dream of writing.
Wayne currently lives in Houston with his wife, dog and soon to be born son. He remains a fan of geek culture, board games, video games, fantasy, science fiction and all around silliness.

I was given this book complimentary from Book Sirens in e-book form in return for my honest review. Everything stated in this review is of my own opinion and I was not compensated monetarily for providing this review.
oI know that this review is going to read as a "dammed by faint praise" piece but that is the truth of the matter. This is a nice book with nice people, a nice plot with nice action. The ideal book to give your mom for a vacation read.
Starts off as a superhero read but that aspect fizzles as the direction turns to politics and religion. It is hard to describe without spoilers but the story really does not pick up the pace and rolls along to the ending such as it is.
A nice book that falls short as a superhero novel and political thriller and relly lacks a strong theme.
Sorry to be unenthusiastic but even the greatest of artists produce some very ordinary works
