RADIOACTIVE

One of mankind greatest weaknesses and oftentimes its most disastrous flaw is our inability to control ourselves from fearing change or the unknown. The moment a person or group of people arrives who doesn’t fit into the narrative which society tells itself, many people start to feel the fear of their existence as they know it coming to an end, and in that fear, something snaps. In the best cases, it is an outburst or rant that through calm discussion can lead to a better understanding, and yet in the worst of cases, as our society sees today, violence and rage can quickly be fueled by fear.

PACIFIC BOOK REVIEW

The author did an incredible job of world building in this novel. The shocking opening scene of the novel really sets the tone, with the shock and awe of the protagonist’s circumstances bringing both an adrenaline rush and sense of emotional wonder as they discover their new circumstances. The natural character progression and volume of diversity and inclusion that the narrative and cast of characters embody in this novel were amazing to see come to life on the page, and the action-packed scenes of heroic battles and lighthearted character interactions made the story feel both balanced and almost cinematic in its delivery through some pretty powerful imagery in the author’s writing style

This is the perfect book for those who enjoy superheroes, especially those who enjoy a healthy mix of mythology building, sci-fi, action & adventure, and an almost mature graphic novel style of writing. The story will especially speak to readers who enjoy the maturity of a Wolverine comic with the discovery and wonder of the iconic and classic XMen comics. The balance the author found between the world building and the character development helps to bring the readers into the narrative on a more personal level, and keeps the suspense of the plot thick and easy to get lost in.

"Look, we aren’t gods. Just people like you, but evolved? Changed? Mutated? I don’t have the right word for it, but we are all still humans here."

When a meteor crash lands on Earth, survivors in the blast zone acquire powerful abilities that make them superhuman. Isaiah is one of these “supers” who awakens after being in a coma for thirteen years and finds his arm severed. However, his body is endowed with the ability to regenerate and manipulate water in exceptional ways. As he connects with other survivors, first in a research lab and later scattered throughout the apocalyptic landscape, he forms a potent pack with other supers who are trying to understand their powers in a new and terrifying world.

Radioactive Era of Change is an extraordinary science opera which combines human intellect with technology in a new world. When the world is disrupted by the fall of a huge meteor to the Earth, strange and significant changes occur, especially to those on the East Coast where the blast occurs as their bodies mutate to new forms and acquire phenomenal powers.

When Isaiah gains consciousness in a new environment, he finds out he has awakened in an apocalyptic world, thirteen years in the future, underground in a lab with no memory, a missing arm, and different colored hair and eyes. As he comes to terms with this new world, he experiences a wide range of emotions since he cannot remember his name, nor the previous events which had taken place. As his memory vaguely returns, he forms unlikely friendships as a distant but sinister plot begins unfolding before his eyes and imperils the new changes he has had to adjust to in his life.

Imbued with well-wrought characters that develop as the book hurtles along, vivid and lush descriptions, and thoughtful dialogue, Radioactive Era of Change is unequivocally a win-win by itself.

Real Tech, a powerful conglomerate, is revealed to have been kidnapping Evoldans to conduct research and experiments on this new augmented species. But there are many more kinds of Evoldan powers, and the holders of these easily invade Real Tech to recover their victims. However, the belligerence increases until the Evoldans feel forced to conquer the humans.

Radio Active Era of Change: We The Kindred is a compelling science fiction book that takes the reader through stimulating adventure, action and intense drama. It is a sequel of the first book Radio Active Era of Change.

Cyberpunk meets manga in this science-techno thriller. The protagonist, Hozoki, tells the story in the first person, a technique that allows sympathy to be established for this new hybrid of machine and human while at the same time exposing their subjective assessment of the situation. For instance, it becomes clear in the narrative that perhaps the Evoldans are unable to fully understand the normal human response to their fantastic powers. Readers get a thoughtprovoking glimpse into the strangely efficient techno-world of the Evoldans and the strangeness of mutation in the author’s intriguing novel

Era of Change - We The Kindred

This book was an absolute delight, and did an incredible job of really fleshing out the mythology and world-building that the author achieved in book one. The chemistry between Hozoki and his adoptive daughter Igluu was great to see developed more, as was the confrontational relationship between Hozoki and the U.S. President. The incredible imagery the author utilized through the writing really brought this futuristic, sci-fi infused setting to life perfectly, allowing the protagonist and the people he is working to protect to grow and evolve in a natural way that makes sense to the story, even including how they are viewed and treated by the world at large through the involvement of the U.N. and so much more.

Radioactive Era of Change: We the Kindred is a must-read sci-fi action novel not to be missed. The author incorporates some truly shocking twists in this story that allow the reader to become engrossed in the overall narrative, and the evolution of these characters, not just in terms of their powers but of their personalities and roles in leadership, as well as the way the author touches upon our own world’s struggles with organ and human trafficking, and the fear which often comes with those who are different from ourselves, making this a gripping tale that is imperative to read for any sci-fi fan. Be sure to grab your own copy and read this incredible story for yourselves.

Radio Active Era of Change: We The Kindred is easy to follow because of the simplicity of narration. The book starts with the reader being informed about Cardine's demise. The people have been liberated, but there is still a lot going on. Hozoki Bekhiar is the leader that Evoldan people are looking up to. Hozoki is a firm leader and is working with the head of state to withdraw from the nation on cordial terms. Hozoki knows how to strategize, and with other leaders, he is on the lookout for the Company responsible for Cardin's crimes. Meanwhile, there is a change of guard in the presidency, and uncertainty arises between the two. Hozoki is the man to watch out for. As a reader, you get to love his actions and even root for him when he engages in both reasonable and unorthodox activities. I liked him most when he was able to fish out the Company responsible for Cardin, and got the group to have a candid talk with Hozoki. In his quest to find the truth, some of his family members become collateral damage. His adopted daughter gets kidnapped, messing up the plan. When following Hozoki's story, you get to understand the intricacies of politics, governance and the presidency.

You will enjoy this book if you are a reader who likes getting immersed in the world of science fiction perpetually. The plot remains engaging from the beginning, and the characters are fun.  You are never able to fully speculate what they are up to, and you will keep guessing the direction of the plot on some pages. Suspense, drama, and action top everything in this book, Radio Active Era of Change: We The Kindred.

"...the Kardashev scale... ranks the technological capabilities of a civilization... to manipulate and efficiently consume energy."

A meteor falls in the tri-state area of Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland in 2036, causing a small subset of “superpowered” humans to emerge, exhibiting all kinds of bio-technological advancements. There are now pyromancers, geomancers, and even hydromancers, such as Hozoki Bekhiar. Hozoki is able to extend her powers over water to include boiling enemies alive by increasing their internal temperature. But this amount of unchecked power has caused tensions to rise between the “Evoldan,” or mutated humans, and the normal folks who have survived the impact. Initially rounded up and studied by normal human scientists, the Evoldans, by 2037, are led by Hozoki. They attempt to establish normal relations and even manage to help rebuild parts of Washington, D.C. A change in presidents, though, changes the tenor of the times, and more restrictive laws and a military presence are established in the tri-state area.
