WHEN EVIL THREATENS THE WORLD, A NEW BREED OF HERO’S WILL EMERGE...   The word is changing. Evolving.  In the wake of a deadly explosion a mysterious chemical is released and has mutated the genetic structure of Captain Van Peterson and his strike force, endowing them with superhuman abilities.       Some will use their powers for good, while others seek to exploit the limits of their new found abilities for their own personal gain.   With the government unable to handle the new found threat, Captain Peterson and his team must rise and stand together to keep the very fabric of humanity from unraveling.   Sentry Squad. Interview with the Author Q - So, what makes Sentry Squad so special?  A – Sentry Squad is a mix of a lot of things really.  When I set out to write the story, I wanted it to mirror a lot of the things I like to read and watch.  I’m a big science fiction fan and love the whole superhero genre in general.  So I wanted to mash the two together and create something exciting for the reader. Q - What did you enjoy most about writing Sentry Squad?  A – For me it was developing each of the characters super human powers.  That was a real treat.  It’s something that I’ve wanted to do most of my life and I finally had the chance to do it. Q - Why should readers give Sentry Squad a try?  A – Because Sentry Squad is a superhero thrill ride that will keep you engaged.  Readers who like fast paced action will enjoy the book.

Reviews

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This read like either a comic book or a graphic novel. There were several places in the story where the plot/story became disjointed and it was a little hard to follow. The characters were interesting and the author developed them to combat each other, where their powers sort negated their opponents. The story was thought out, but could have used a little bit more developing.

An interesting take on the genre

I would have liked the heroes to have spent more time learning and being a bit more "what on earth!"

But a fun read

Comic book without the pictures. Overall, simple and entertaining. Couple of spellcheck muddles. Here's my favorite."Jenny continued to whale on the door but, after a few minute of berating the armed troops, Jenny gave up." Although not mentioned, I'm sure that she let the whale go back to the ocean to swim with the other wails. Hehe.

Stupid premise right off..... !!!

Let's use prisoners?! ..... GREAT IDEA!!! .....
We have an endless supply of rejects and fools to vet slaughtered!!!
We don't want our smart, dedicated, patriotic, trained and ready Soldiers with skills to get hurt. Nooo!
We will waste many millions building a secret unneeded base for under a mountain!!
Then you hero of "Desert Strom" will lead these Secret Prisoners to kill really Really REALLY Bad Guys!

In the end it is .... Useless.
