#abrknpoet reviewed Black Rain
Black Rain is a dystopian thriller set in a near future where genetically engineered humans, called Synthates, are exploited as slaves, soldiers and entertainment. The protagonist, Jack Saxton, is the heir of Genico Inc., a powerful corporation that creates and sells Synthates. When a prominent geneticist is murdered, Jack becomes a suspect and is arrested by two NYPD detectives. He soon discovers that there is a rebel group of Synthates who are fighting for their freedom and dignity. Jack also learns that he has a mysterious connection to the Synthates that could change everything.
The book is fast-paced and action-packed, with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged. The author explores the ethical and moral implications of genetic engineering and human trafficking, as well as the corruption and greed of the corporate elite. The characters are well-developed and complex, especially Jack, who undergoes a transformation from a privileged and naive young man to a courageous and compassionate leader. The book also has elements of romance, humor and horror, making it a diverse and entertaining read.
Black Rain is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that challenges the reader to question the value of human life and the meaning of identity. It is written in British English, with some Americanisms and slang terms. The book is suitable for mature readers who enjoy science fiction, mystery and suspense.
