Great heroine who faces
problems like an intelligent, adult woman. Every character is
complex – no caricatures here. |

Fabulous plot put together
like the Mona Lisa made out of mosaic tiles. End is slightly
rushed. |
The description doesn't do this book
justice. It's everything science fiction stories should be, and too
often aren't. The hero and heroine wake up on the edge of a lake
without remembering how they got there. As they investigate each
other, the reader gets to go along for the ride discovering an exotic
new world full of genetically engineered wonders. Each character has
their own agenda and motivations, which seem completely reasonable,
however, are often in conflict with one another. There are romantic
and erotic elements, but they mostly take a back seat. Overall, this
is one of the best books I've read lately, and I recommend it to
anyone who likes science fiction, urban fantasy, or post apocalyptic
stories. The Ophelia Prophecy is pricey at $9-10 for the ebook
version, but well worth the cost.
