7th Son: Descent

Wonderful! I highly recommend this a thrilling page turner

I first was introduced by podcast. Love the author, his work speaks for its self. "READ ME!"

AWESOME!!!

I had listened to this novel as a podcast. The book is even better! This is a thriller in every way. Can't wait for book two! I have to listen to the podcasts again after reading this book because I just couldn't wait to hear the rest of the story again. Great job J.C.

Simply Amazing

I'm actually a fan from before the book was published and after reading another reader's critique, I'm not going to really go into the plot.

This is a thrill ride. Nothing more, nothing less. JC introduces you to seven interesting people, they are people that you want to know. You also have to keep in mind that this book is part of a trilogy. So, 'Descent' is just the beginning.

Nothing is always as it seems and to go deeper, you have to read or listen to the rest of this rollercoaster of a ride.

entertaining science fiction tale

At Bowling Green College in Kentucky, four years old Jesse Fowler kills President Griffin slicing the POTUS's throat when he was being kissed on the cheek. The Secret Service grabbed the child and his parents; a week later Jesse was dead and no one understood why.

Government agents grab seven men of interest. Each looks similar enough to be at least siblings if not septuplets. Their memories up until they turned fourteen are identical and their names are offshoots of John Michael Smith. They react to what the Feds tell them in the same way as if they go through the phases of forming a strong cohesive group; this includes their hosts Dr. Kenneth Kleinman and Brigadier General Orlando Hill. The seven know that they are the "offspring" of Alpha, who stole top secret government technology that enables him to download a mind to override the original person's brain. The seven are his clones, but like their hosts none of them comprehend why their Alpha killed the President with a copy of his mind inside the preschooler or why he plays cryptic games with his seven clones.

This is an entertaining science fiction tale that opens with the toddler assassin and never slows down. Although the enigmatic taunting seems old hat as does the cloning, the key to this fast-paced tale is the seven Smiths all have distinctive personalities and lifestyles even with their same origins; for instance Father Thomas questions whether he has a soul being a clone or father Jack was going to watch ironically D.A.R.Y.L. with his two daughters. Readers will enjoy DESCENT although Alpha acts too typical of a villain, his clones make for a lively science fiction thriller.
