A unique and adventurous dystopian sci-fi tale...
Jake Vickers dystopian novel H-17 The Morningstar Abduction tells the story of Gabby Morningstar, a child genius who has been sold to the enigmatic H-17. Nikki, her older sister, is a runaway who has been living on the streets for a year. ‘Gabby is at school when she receives the news of her father’s murder. She’s then abducted by the detective assigned to the case and sold to an unidentified group of people lurking off of an unmarked highway exit. Gabby’s feral runaway sister Nikki will stop at nothing to find and rescue her.’
This was a fascinating and captivating read that had me immersed from the beginning. The story flowed from scene to scene with ease, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling. There are plenty of attention-grabbing moments in this page turner that will take the reader on a truly mesmerizing journey.
It’s long read that contains dark humour and some explicit violence with raw language. At its core is the bond between siblings. Highly recommended reading and a well-deserved five stars.
