[Paul Charran · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quantum Cultivation is an interesting blend of Modern Dystopian sci-fi and martial arts. The main character is a Martial Arts master who has come on an important mission. Along the way he gathers students and instructs them in Martial Arts and Chi control. At times he seems more fixated on the training than the mission. Needless to say, his students become formidable combatants in no time at all, days really. That accelerated progress took me out of the narrative a few times.
The author has done some work depicting the Martial Arts training and the fight scenes. Sometimes to the detriment of the plot.

Also, I should issue a warning; if explicit sexual matter bothers you, do not pick up this book.
