Editorial Reviews for Octagon:
“This book had me on the edge of my seat, the entire time, and it never took the characters where I thought it would. I love a book when it isn't predictable. Definitely a must read!”
“I couldn't stop reading this one. Very intense and kept me on the edge of my seat. Awesome read.”
“Fantastic book. Octagon really makes you look at the world. What's real and what isn't? I highly recommend this sci-fi thriller!”
“I love Octagon!! I was immediately drawn into this futuristic world where everything that is thought to be true isn't. Kobe is sent on a crazy ride in which the filmy layer on society is slowly being pulled back, revealing the dark truths about the world he lives in. Thrilling, kept me on the edge of my seat, anxious to read on, and never knowing what would happen next. Would definitely recommend this book to others. Highly looking forward to the next book in the trilogy. Great, great, great book!”
“Shades of 1984 and The Hunger Games. A dystopian future fantasy that grips because of the pace of the writing and the fully realized physical world. Good balance of moment by moment detailing and violent action to build a strong story line. And as with The Hunger Games, it's ultimately about who gets to stay alive, and how.”
“Fun read I don't know why I like dystopian future or post apocalyptic books for that matter but I do and this was a really good example of a dark future where life just went on and what the problem with turning over to much control.”

This book builds in it's intensity the more you read. It started off kind of slow but, wow, it built up speed like a speeding freight train until...
Yes, it left you hanging with a cliffhanger. But, the first chapter of the last section made much more sense at the end.
I can't complain, however, this book had me glued to the pages. The fate of Kobe and his team kept me hooked. They were the underdogs and you can't help but root for a underdog. Plus, a surprise when they enter the final game, called the Dominion, was just what was needed for my spirits and theirs to soar. Not to mention, Kobe has an angel of death on his side.
I can't wait to find out how this all ends. The author must have something brilliant up his sleeve, I'm sure.
Really enjoyed this book - can't wait to read the final book in the trilogy. If you like reading a book that you just can't put down, the read this series. Full of action, revenge and really interesting characters.
This is a fantastic follow up to Octagon. I can't wait to read the third book in the trilogy. Every time I turn around, the plot and characters surprise me. Definitely a good read.
