2222: A Novel
The year is 2222, and the world’s a crowded place.
Over the last century there has been an unprecedented global population explosion. Nearly every country on Earth is teeming with citizens who can't be housed or cared for. The solution to this problem? The invention of Satellite Cities. Man-made islands used to build sky-high slums. Places where the dregs of society go to live… to slowly die.
Borne of the teachings of Adolf Hitler, an extremist militant group called the Sons of the Swastika are set to achieve their goals of population control and racial purity when they uncover a centuries old Nazi Doomsday machine called The Reset Button. A weapon that will wipe the world clear of half of its population.
Doom seems inevitable until a revolutionary scientist discovers a way to prevent this devastation from occurring. The plan is to go back in time and bring a monster forward. A monster who is the only person in history known to be aware of how to stop The Reset Button. Because he was the one responsible for its creation.
Will bringing forward one of the cruelest monsters from the past help save the future? Or will it prove to be a huge mistake? Only time will tell…

2222 is set in a dystopian, over populated future. There is only food for the rich and most live in satellite cities, manmade islands that hold refugees of overpopulated nations. The Sons of the Swastika, a white supremacist organization holds the Reset Button, a doomsday device that will wipe out a large portion of the population. Dr. Wolfe has created a way for people to travel back in time. He plans to send three survivors of a terrorist attack back in time to bring Adolf Hitler to the future in hopes tracking down the device and stop this doomsday event from happening.
I found this book to be compulsively readable. The chemistry amongst the three main characters was excellent, and very likable. I really enjoyed getting to know them and follow along in their journey. The plotting was excellent and the pacing made it hard to put down. If you like dystopian fiction, I would definitely recommend checking out this book!
My thanks to Dimaro for gifting me a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I don't read a ton of science fiction but I couldn't say no to Dimaro and the concept of this story. Set 200 years in the future (hence the title), everything that we see today has catapulted into our worst case scenario. Over population, food sources deplenished, cities going under water... we have fought the Earth with our selfishness and have lost. And with that, the Sons of the Swastika are ready to purify the population and cut it in half. UFF. We all know about Hitler and the Nazi's... and we all know that there is still a huge group who still, at present day, think along these lines and ... yeah, I'm not gonna go there as I'd like my Friday to be less angry. Haha.
Dimaro brings us a future that is all too realistic... and a story where traveling to the past can help rectify the future. But can it? Any change to the past can alter everything and without knowing if the results will actually be better... it's a crap shoot and I do not envy Lincoln, Desmond and Stowe and their "assignment". Desmond is our main character and the opening of the book tested me a little on whether I'd like this novel or not as I grew quickly to getting annoyed at reading "my future self" so many times. But alas, I hadn't had my coffee yet so... *wink*. I did love the relationships amongst the three and probably one of my favorite scenes is when they go to *release* themselves. Stowe's scene honestly had me cracking up in the best way. My other favorite scene was towards the very end with one shot. HELL YES. And that ending was perfect.
Let's also discuss the illustrations. Personally, I love this cover and the art within was amazing and fun to find peppered within the pages. I am also impressed with the various genres Dimaro writes in and love seeing his writing grow with each book. I've some great conversations with him and one of the things I love about his books is that he's not afraid to face things head on and spin it into his writing. It's a release I think we all can understand. Goodness me, I certainly don't hope that this is where our country/world is headed but unfortunately I fear it's not too far off. Well, maybe no the Blue Void but hell, you never know!

Set in a dystopian future where the world is severely overcrowded and life really isn't living at all, three people wake up knowing nothing about where they are, or even *when* they are. Befriended by an eccentric scientist, the trio learns that they have been brought together to do something unthinkable: travel back in time and kidnap Hitler, to prevent the detonation of a doomsday device hidden since WWII.
This story follows the three citizens-turned-soldiers as they accept their new reality, new abilities, and most importantly, their mission. Their reality and mission seems unbelievable at times, and they all have their doubts. What if changing the past in an attempt to do good does just the opposite?
2222 is a fast-paced, quick-witted story that blurs the line between science fiction/fantasy and thriller. Beyond the creation of a world that seems incredibly likely, the story demonstrates the author's passion for the human condition, as some of the strongest parts of this story are the connections between the three soldiers and the struggles they face in their attempt to do the right thing despite the consequences.
A gripping story about the power of one's moral compass, 2222 is a recommended read for anyone looking for a riveting dystopian thriller. There is some incredible art work within the story, as well, which only helps to enhance the story and the world created by the author.
Thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.

Welcome to the future, sorry it's not what you imagined.
Felix I.D. Dimaro vision of what the future is like is based, as he explains at the end of the book, in A single premise: what if food supplies wouldn't be enough to feed the world's population?
With this in mind he weaves a story full of details that it's impossible to read it without imagining that you are strolling through a street and feeling ever sensation described, you can smell what the building hallway smells like (not always pleasant), you can hear a guy asking "Hello, hulloooo. How'dya do? You chew?"
It's a quick book to read but one that's written with such a care for detail that makes it to good not to read it.
For me it just had two things that I should point out.
The first one is that it made me want more.
Not just about the characters, but about the world itself, before and after (keeping reading I I will explain this).
The second thing is that I kind of discovered something about the plot early in the story, but maybe that's because of reading so much that not that much can sneak up on me.
The before and after I mentioned before is because this story also dabbles on time travel and the changes that may result of said time travel. And what changes they might be.
"What we are doing here, Mr. Drew, is changing the world. Or attempting to."
If you care to know a bit more about the story keep reading if you want it to be a complete surprise you can leave now.
Either way I think I don't spoil anything if you decide to keep going.
The world of "2222: A Novel" might seem like what we've seen so many other times.
A dystopian future where class differences and ways of living differ greatly depending where you go. But all the similarities end there.
We are taken to a world ridden with over population and generalized hunger. A world where the solution for the lack of food, a nutritional patch, gave place to an increase in fertility creating a never ending circle.
"More people. Less space for them to live. Less food. More reliance on the Patch. The cycle continues."
A world where artificial island were created around the world as places where the increasing population could live.
It's on one of this islands, Telesto, one of the two that belong to the Nation of North England that we meet our protagonists.
Three ex guardians of Miranda, the other island, that were rescued after the island fall victim of a terrorist attack. Their saviour, Dr. Wolf, tells them that he was visited by a future version of himself that the attack was just the beginning and that the terrorists were planning the detonation of a Doomsday Device that would kill almost half the world's population.
And this is just the beginning.
If you like this kind of stories "2222" is really a good choice, so head to wherever you buy books and look it up.

When Desmond wakes up in a place looking very much like a hospital, without a single memory of his past, or even his own name, he barely has a chance to get accustomed to the idea that all his loved ones are dead before he is offered a seemingly insane deal.
An opportunity to save the world by preventing the detonation of a Reset Button which will effectively wipe out half of the planet's population.
He is given the chance to prevent a mass murder by getting a mass murderer into the future. Adolph Hitler.
Desmond may have doubts about how something so insanely outrageous might work, but he agrees. And so do two other people alongside him. Technically, they have nothing to loose and everything to gain from the deal.
Get back into shape and back into time, grab the beast and get him, then have a nice peaceful life with a family freshly brought back from the dead. And who can really say no to that.
What follows, you'll just have to read this to find out. The only thing I'll tell you is that this particular story is addictive.
Gripping, addictive and even terrifyingly plausible as far as humanity's future is concerned. The described conditions strike very close to home. Starvation, lack of food despite available resources, panic and pandemonium.
Then we have that impending sense of doom that hangs like a dark cloud over a shoulder up to the very end, nicely enhanced by the compelling mystery of Desmond's choice.
Before you know it, you'll be caught alongside him in a game that essentially seems already lost, wondering if one more bad decision on top of so many others would make any difference.
But above all, you have got to admire the way this author deals with that hate and loathing and desire to ruthlessly kill which define a monster, all stemming from that individual's past. Because at one time or another those monsters were ordinary people who ended up hating and loathing themselves because of others and set off to spread that hate to others in turn.
In a world where hate and anger are easy to resort to, let's make a difference and resort to logic, reason and kindness instead.
A future monster might be lurking around any corner and a little kindness might be just enough to turn them around.
This book is a great reminder of that particular fact. Besides, it also happens to be a damn fine read!
So do yourself a favour and give it a try.
Happy reading everyone
And be kind!
Seriously people,
It's not that hard.

Felix I.D. Dimaro debut was marvellous and he kept getting better. With '2222' he offers a story that's really daring and shows just how mature he is as a writer, both in the capability to come out with such an original concept and the courage to pull it off (which, to be fair, he never lacked.) Most importantly, he does so in a very entertaining way.
'2222' offers a dystopian future as a setting, which really got under my skin as these are real issues that humanity will probably have to face, rather than - I don't know - a zombie plague.
The world building is masterful and every little glimpse of it that the novel offers comes with a thousands more implications. The characters are always well fleshed out, in real Dimaro's style; and this is a premise that another writer could've been tempted into turning into an action story, while he managed to keep the focus on humanity, its weaknesses and its strenghts.
I think I can let you know how much I enjoyed this book by simply letting you know that whenever I had to put it down because of life's demands, I kept thinking about the story, imagining what would happen next.
Mark my word: Dimaro is going places.

I have read previous works by Felix DiMaro and enjoyed them immensely. However, I do have to be honest, this one did not grab me as much as his past stories. I do have a hit or miss track record when it comes to dystopian fiction and science-fiction. It is well written and has a great character development but I found it rather slow and somewhat disconnected. But I still think DiMaro is a magnificent writer, I just think I prefer his horror stuff than this one.
But I will still recommend this story to anyone who loves dystopian/sci-fi literature.

Amnesia in and of itself is a terrible and frightful thing to face. The idea of not knowing who you are or what your life was is how the reader is thrust into this story. A trio of people are rescued and trained in this significantly over-crowded world by a scientist claiming to want to help all. (Anytime I read a story with a doctor or scientist, my skin is set and ready to crawl, thinking it could turn to vivisection at any point... but enough on that.)
Recently a man (on a social media post) said, "there is no such thing as overpopulation. We could fit the entire current population (2020) into the square footage of San Diego." Well, no, we can't and yes over population is a real thing despite so much protest against it. In our life time, we may see the explosion that specialists warn us about, leading to over 11 billion people, and starvation on a mass scale. Too many people will create damage beyond repair, and multiple other issues for life here. Precisely like those within the pages of "2222." Rampant hunger, death, drug use, and violence to name a few quandaries. As the young Toori points out, "No one is safe in Pink City. No one is safe anywhere."
Aside from utter and complete LACK of safety, and gross overpopulation, the Blue Abyss also spotlights in this tale. And it wholly intrigues me. It gives me a sense of elation, and also terrifies me. It is like "The Nothing," from the Neverendjng Story, it is full of Stephen King's "Langoliers," waiting to break down and consume everything it comes in contact with, and it is the emptiness that comprises so much of the universe. And it haunts me in my sleep. I want more of it. Crave more of its secrets. I am hooked, and the recent fix isn't going to satiate. It is as though Dimaro took the notion of anti-matter, made it blue, harnessed it, and used it for negating all the pesky problems of time/space travel.
It was a privilege to have read 2222 in its early stages. Re-reading this final, polished story was a delicious treat and an honour. Since it's infancy, the story line has enhanced in richness. The characters developed perfectly, and I feel as though I was part of the team with Desmond, Stowe, and Lincoln. Tackling topics such as time travel is no small feat, then add to it history lessons, specifically the furthering of despicable, blatant racism makes this story wonderfully complex. Which is where Dimaro seems to excel as a writer. The depth of his works seems to flow out. Ready to slap you or hold your hand while you learn.
I've very much enjoyed the other works written by Dimaro, the "Easter eggs," and crossovers to the multiverse he is growing, and I anxiously await to learn of the other worlds which currently reside only in his mind. Do yourself a kindness and dive into this story.

This was my first experience of reading a novel by this author and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise but not without its faults.
2222 is an intriguing story, to say the least. Set almost 200 years into the future, The world's population has exploded due to various breakthroughs in technology but hardly any in common sense. People are crowded together on top of each other in highly populated cities that are similar to skyscrapers. As more people will always result in more stupidity, there are still the ghosts of horrors past haunting the world in the shape of the 'Sons of the Swastika'. The story sees a terror attack by them on one of these cities that kills almost 1 million people but leaves even more without any memory of who they are. Three people are saved by one scientist who tells them they were chosen for a special task of going into the past to fetch Hitler who will be able to tell them the location of a doomsday device which will prevent mass genocide.
Pretty cool right? Well, it is, but unfortunately the majority of the novel focuses on the training of these three people. There's some world-building but not much. There's some character exploration, but not much. The most interesting and best part for me was its ending which seemed to be rushed and overall too quickly.
I can't complain about the writing at all and for an independent author, I was surprised at how confident he wrote. The writing was neat and to the point which is exactly how I like it and I don't think I spotted a single content error all the way through either.
This a very interesting premise that I feel could have been explored a little more and the focus taken away from the training aspect as the execution of their task was over all too quickly for me.

I just finished reading Felix Dimaro's (@thingsthatkeepmeupatnight) latest novel, 2222, and am completely awestruck.
Whether it's supernatural horror (How to Make a Monster), psychological madness (Bug Spray), technological horror (Viral Lives), or dystopian/sci-fi/suspense (2222), Dimaro, like Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, will hold you in thrall until his tale is told.
Felix has, in a short span of time, already mastered the ability to bring worlds entirely unlike our own to life, and he enables the reader to see, feel and almost smell the surroundings encapsulating his characters. The characters; oh, what can I say about his protagonists/antagonists? They are so well crafted that you can almost imagine meeting them out in town in your real life, but chances are you probably wouldn't want to.
With 2222, Dimaro has again refused to fit himself into one single niche as an author, and continues to find new genres to explore and conquer. Why just be a horror writer when there are other worlds to explore? After another fantastic novel, I can't wait to see what his next book will be; gothic suspense, crime thriller, or even a historical romance, lol? It's well worth the wait to find out, knowing it will be 💯 whatever its genre.
Whether it's supernatural horror (How to Make a Monster), psychological madness (Bug Spray), technological horror (Viral Lives), or dystopian/sci-fi/suspense (2222), Dimaro, like Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, will hold you in thrall until his tale is told.
Felix has, in a short span of time, already mastered the ability to bring worlds entirely unlike our own to life, and he enables the reader to see, feel and almost smell the surroundings encapsulating his characters. The characters; oh, what can I say about his protagonists/antagonists? They are so well crafted that you can almost imagine meeting them out in town in your real life, but chances are you probably wouldn't want to.
With 2222, Dimaro has again refused to fit himself into one single niche as an author, and continues to find new genres to explore and conquer. Why just be a horror writer when there are other worlds to explore? After another fantastic novel, I can't wait to see what his next book will be; gothic suspense, crime thriller, or even a historical romance, lol? It's well worth the wait to find out, knowing it will be 💯 whatever its genre.

2222 is Dimaro's newest novel, set in a dystopian future where the world is overcrowded and being threatened by a militant group called the Sons of the Swastika. This group follows the teachings of Adolf Hitler, and are set on changing the world to what they think it should be.
The main characters of this story are recruited for a daring and dangerous mission. Go to the past and bring forward one of the most dangerous men in history to stop the doomsday device that he created.
Dimaro has crafted a rich world for this story and one that is a blast to read about. The innovative way he has put these characters and where they live together is truly mind blowing! This is a must read for me, as is everything Dimaro has written!

Spoilers/ Review for 2222 by @thingsthatkeepmeupatnight

2222 is set in the distant future, but opens in 1945 with Desmond Drew holding Adolf Hitler at gunpoint. Then we flash forward to 2220 where Desmond is recovering from a gas attack enacted by the "Sons of the Swastika", a group who killed millions. Dr Wolf has been helping Desmond recover from the attack. Wolf proves that time travel is possible to Desmond and his fellow survivors Lincoln and Stowe before revealing a terrible truth: the Sons of the Swastika plot to detonate the reset button on August 8th 2222. The only way to stop them is to retrieve Hitler from 1945 and prevent the Sons. But when the time comes, will Desmond, Stowe and Lincoln be able to carry out the plan?...

Read this one as part of a double feature from Felix. A bit more sci fi than horror but the two genres are connected
.
The timeline at the very start of the book was a good way to establish the story and where we were in the world and showed Felix really created this world! It took me a bit to get used to this new world but Felix's writing style made it easy to follow and to read and I enjoyed it. The story develops and I got really invested in this one. The characters of Dr Wolf and Desmond were definitely the two stand outs to me! But it was interesting to see how all the main players were involved and grew as the story grew and how they explored this world. There's a brilliant twist in this tale. I won't say what but it's a good one that fits. Part of me feels I should have detected it sooner but I still liked it. I liked the ending but I did wish we had a bit more from it. On the whole it's a good story and warning for the future!

Set in the future, a dystopian imagining that exaggerates so many of the things we are already seeing today. I can honestly see a future like this, and it's terrifying. And the blue serum is so interesting! The end left me wondering, for sure. This was a great read, definitely recommend. I enjoyed it so much I already finished The Fire On Memory Lane too (and have started How To Make A Monster 👀). I've also decided I'm going to need physical copies of these, as I read them on Kindle.
I posted this to my Insta and forgot to post here. Reflecting on this book, months later, there are still so many scenes that stick with me - especially the over population and living conditions. Yikes.

‘Stated repeatedly the importance of this moment in time, and of bringing this creature forward to theirs. To save billions. The irony of it.’
.
.
So the year is 2222, the world has continued its inevitable spiral down the toilet and has taken on a futuristic blade runner-esque look, with satellite cities that support the worlds ever expanding population problem. Meanwhile in the shadows, a radical group called the Sons of the Swastika are set to wipe half the world out of existence with a centuries old doomsday machine called the Reset Button. A top scientist helms the last line of defence and trains a small team to go back in time and bring back the one monster who can stop it all, Adolf Hitler.
.
.
A bit of a change of scenery for Dimaro here. Whilst all of his novels thus far have had a cosmic horror feel to them, 2222 however takes us more down the sci-fi road, but it’s not a road that you can enjoy the scenery, the picture of dystopian Britain isn’t only chilling but frightfully believable. With the previous year that we’ve all struggled through it’s quite easy to imagine a world that will go incredibly tits up. So with that in mind it makes me wonder wether it’s incredibly good timing for the release or wether Dimaro has had a little ride out in the DeLorean.
With 2222, the world Felix created is expanding more and more, with plenty of characters and worlds to explore it’ll be “fun” to see where he goes from here. Also a little word to the artwork that gives the novel a graphic novel feel. Featuring several different artists, each piece of art gives its own warped view on the futuristic world.
.
.
I know I’ve said this many times but if an author deserves film rights or a series like the Twilight Zone (The Dimaro Zone?), it’s Felix. He really knows how to put the willies up you, and with the horror genre going crackers at the minute, he would be more than at home there.

🏙Spoiler Free Book Review🏙

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫✨ (3.75 rounded up)
•
If you could go back in time and kill Adolf Hitler, would you? Felix Dimaro puts a spin on this classic quandary in his newest book with the possibility that Hitler could be the very thing, the only thing, that could save the future of the world.
•
Set in a dystopian future where the world is overcrowded, over polluted, and starving, 2222 follows three reluctant would be heroes on a quest to prevent the annihilation of half the world’s population by a Neo-Nazi terrorist group, the Sons of the Swastika.
•
I’m not usually a fan of stories centered around time travel, so it speaks to the quality of Dimaro’s writing that I devoured this story in two days. I loved the world building and character development, something I’ve found to be consistent from this author.
•
The world created in 2222 is one I can all too easily imagine and that alone is terrifying. Gripping from start to finish, I never knew exactly what was coming and that kept me engaged every step of the way, as I was rooting for our heroes and waiting to see if they would see success or failure. I also enjoyed the artwork throughout; the drawings were a great addition.
•
Fans of Philip K. Dick’s writing, dystopian or sci-fi, this one’s for you. While my personal preference is for Dimaro’s horror stories, 2222 shows that he has an impressive range. He remains an auto-buy author for me and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.

Dimaro has a knack for being able to immediately suck you into whatever story he is telling. This story is no different, and he doesn't waste any time getting right to the point.
In two years (from the beginning of the story), a Doomsday device is set to wipe out half of the world's population. We are introduced to three soldiers who are training to stop this from happening, by learning to control the Blue Void. The Blue Void is basically a gateway (like a Stargate) that opens a rift between worlds and the time & space continuum. Unlike a physical Stargate, our three heroes have the capability to open the Void anywhere, with their minds. (There is a whole lot more to this concept, and it is fascinating!)
When dealing with time travel, it has the potential to devolve into a messy, convoluted affair, yet Dimaro keeps everything grounded, giving us well thought out situations and scenarios, and his (future) world-building is exceptional.
There is so much more that I want to mention, (the deadly blue fog used to create Blue Cloud; Blue Degeneration, a side-effects of spending too long in the Blue Abyss, and the cosmic-horror that is alluded to live within it!) but I have said enough already. You will just have to read it yourself.

Have you ever seen those weird conspiracy theories about the Nazis having a base on Antarctica? I always think of those theories in the same way I think of basically all modern science fiction or horror that deals with Hitler or the Nazis; it’s all rather goofy and silly. 2222 by Felix Dimaro is NOT one of those late night movies with Nazis riding on sharks through the sky. This is a serious and ultimately powerful science fiction novel. The world were placed into in the novel is overpopulated, bleak, and sort of a bummer honestly. The future of our species mirroring the past in many ways. This is where Dimaro shines in his writing. He makes the world not a clean cut and silver future, this is the future humanity as we know it now would craft. That doesn’t even begin to get into the ugliness present at all turns of the plot. Without getting in too deep to the story (for risk of spoiling anything) just know this is a solid read. The science fiction elements are presented interestingly, so much so I would love to see sequels using the concepts presented here. The world building is top notch, this feels like a real place with genuine issues. If you’re a fan of serious toned science fiction, I cannot recommend this enough. K thx.

3.5 stars, rounded up.
Felix I. D. Dimaro is one of those authors with crazy ideas, and I totally mean that as a compliment.
My first work by him was 'Viral lives', read years ago, and I remember telling myself back then, 'I need to keep an eye on this one.'
'2222' is one of those novels that seems completely mental, but for some reason, it just works.
The concept is fascinating ; the dystopian world it is set in, painfully accurate.
Unfortunately, the execution was a bit wobbly.
But I will probably say that with absolutel every media exploiting time travel as a main plot point, because let's be real : butterfly effect is real.
So, with that being said, I cannot help but disagree about some turns of event that happened.
The smallest change in the past may have the biggest consequence on the future, and our three main characters using the Void for months on end just didn't sit right with me.
But other than that, I found myself completely immersed in this very bleak, dystopian future, the blandness and colourless world depicted perfectly via Dimaro's writing.
While the author mentioned a follow-up to answer some questions left unanswered at the end, I rather liked being left in the dark and to speculate on my own.

2222 is another amazing offering from Dimaro. With this one, he tackles the future and the past, giving us a dystopian future all too easy to imagine, coupled with time travel that is truly horrifying in its implications. The characters here have become some of my favorites, and getting to know them as they navigate a completely new world they never could have dreamed up was so much fun. The relationships among the characters are natural and organic, and the way their bond deepens and evolves through their shared experiences is beautifully done.
Dimaro is a master of not only character development, but of world building. You can see what he sees, hear what he hears, smell what he smells. Everything around you fades as you immerse yourself in the world he’s creating, and when you read the last words, it takes a moment to readjust to the world you inhabit. His writing is truly masterful, and I can say without hesitation I will read anything he writes in the future.
2222 comes out May 16th, and is available now on Amazon for Kindle pre-order, at a great price. I received a free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Felix I.D. Dimaro created an amazing dystopian sci-fi that seems incredibly plausible. Thanks to eradication of many human conditions, overpopulation has occurred, which in turn has led to more and more issues. Leading to lives that aren't really living but just existing instead. The Sons of the Swastika are prepared to purify the population. Hoping that traveling to the past can help rectify the future instead, we follow Desmond, Lincoln, and Stowe as they prepare to travel to the past to bring Hilter back to stop the Sons of the Swastika's plan.
Dimaro has this amazing ability to write these settings that are seemingly unlike our own and make them so vivid and engaging that they become realistic. I loved the illustrations sprinkled within the pages, they felt like an excellent bonus that made sure my imagination was keeping time with Dimaro's. His character development and world building are absolutely phenomenal, while the story itself is nothing short of outstanding.

2222 is a dystopian/sci fi thriller about a group of three people, Desmond, Stowe and Lincoln, who are tasked to go back in time to 1945 to save Hitler from his ultimate death. Why? Because a group called The Sons of the Swastika plan to use a device called The Reset Button. Which will ultimately wipe out half of the world.
Hitler was the only one who knows how to stop the reset button, so the three must train to go through the Blue Void, find Hitler and bring him back to the future. But not all is as it seems…
This was a pretty fun and quick read, I enjoyed most of the book, there was a clear reference to his other books that involve a certain man named The Pitchman, and even though he’s not in this one, one of his items is, and it was a fun homage to him.
Its also a very tame book. Which is very unlike Felix😤 so if you’re looking for a book that isn’t dark, or fucked, check this one out!
Overall I gave it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 stars. (Rounded up to 5)

4.7/5 ⭐
2222 is one of the most realistic sci-fi books that I've read. Realistic in a way that everything seems very likely, very probable. And I don't mean the science stuff, I mean how society is depicted in 2222.
Like the rest of Dimaro's works, 2222 would make a great cinematic masterpiece. He knows how to literally paint a picture through his words, as I felt that I was watching a movie instead of reading a book. The pacing, the dialogues, the description of people and places - everything seemed incredibly real.
And like all of the rest of Dimaro's books (at least the ones I've read) this book had a very satisfying ending.
The only negative thing that I have to say about 2222 is that I needed more! It was short... bittersweet and short. With this story, there can even be a whole series, or at least one 1000 page book.

2222 made me feel happy, sad, anxious and mad. All things I love to feel from an author. This story makes you feel for your main characters and root for their success. In a not so distant future the world as we know it is no more. Citizens are forced into the sky as flooding and food shortages reach an all time high. Going to the past could change the outcome of Earth but at what cost? This story shows the realities of true evil and what can be done when that evil is given power. 2222 leaves me wondering, what would I do in that cold Blue Abyss and if they will ever be okay in Pink City.
Thanks to Dimaro for the opportunity to read his book early in exchange for an honest review.

As usual with Dimaro’s books, I was pretty much instantly drawn in. I have no problem visualizing as I’m reading and it’s like watching a movie. The atmosphere he’s created in this dystopian future is so realistic and easy to imagine. Good mix of character building and plot. I loved the graphics that were added, it was a nice touch.
Time travel always boggles my mind when future selves go back to past selves and I can go crazy trying to figure it all out. So there were a couple points in the book I had to just push on and not think too hard but overall I really enjoyed it.

For me, Dimaro's books have a way of making themselves very comfortable in my brain, for weeks after reading I find myself still thinking about the stories. 2222 is no different, I read this last year and it lives rent-free in my head to this day. (Fun fact, a gopher tortoise decided to dig his burrow in my yard while I was reading 2222, so I decided to name him Desmond after the main character.) I'm not the best at writing reviews so I'll keep it simple - I loved this story. It was my favorite book of last year.

A futuristic poverty stricken overpopulated world where 3 people are trained to be elite specialists.....with a task to go back in time and bring Adolf Hitler to the present to prevent his tyrannical future attacks.
My second Felix ID Dimaro book, and he's fast becoming one of my favourite authors.
I'm not usually a massive sci-fi fan, but the sci-fi element is interwoven with amazing characters and story lines.
I held back finishing this book because I didn't want it to end!!!!!
Looks like I'll be buying a lot more of this incredible talented writers' books.
Highly highly recommended!!

I liked the descriptions of the future (approaching the year 2222) that Dimaro imagined in this sci-fi book. Things are far from rosy, but it makes for interesting reading.
I unfortunately didn't care for the premise in general and thought the writing was awkward at times.
