Book Review: Domination, by Jon Lewis


Summary

“Their goal is simple: total domination.

With six arms and jaws that can snap a man in two, the warmongering race of aliens known as the Thule has conquered every planet they’ve attacked.

And now their invasion of Earth has begun.

Humanity’s only hope springs from a mysterious Thule legend about a Betrayer, who they believe will rise up and destroy their people. The American government tried to manufacture their own Betrayer by injecting children with Thule blood but time after time the experiment failed . . . until Colt McAlister.

A decade later, Colt is a 16-year-old cadet at the CHAOS Military Academy where he’s training to defend mankind. But he’s afraid that the alien blood may be turning him into a Thule—and he’s beginning to suspect that fulfilling his role as the Betrayer may cost him everything.

Experience a cosmic battle filled with high-tech gear, gateways to other planets, and ultimate stakes. Not everyone will survive. But heroes will rise up and step into their destiny in this earth-shaking conclusion to the C.H.A.O.S trilogy.”

Review

I truly enjoyed this book. I read the first two books in the trilogy first so I would have a clear understanding of the characters and plot, but soon discovered that wasn’t totally necessary. The author does enough reviewing of characters and plot that you could read this book without having read the other two. The plot was interesting, edge-of-your-seat-exciting, and unique. I was afraid it would be too much like other sci-fi plots, but there were enough twists and turns along the way to keep the reader guessing. I thought the character development was perfect and enjoyed the little bit of relationship/romance that was involved, and since it is geared towards young adults, it wasn’t trashy or graphic in the romance area. The reader gets attached to each character and hopes that they survive the thrilling ending. Without giving the ending away, I will just say it ended just right with no disappointment.

disclosure: the publisher has provided me with a complimentary copy of this book through BookSneeze®.
