The Amber Project: A Dystopian Sci-fi Novel (The Variant Saga Book 1)

Slow to start with but soon got going. One hell of a ride! Great story, very much enjoyed. You won't be disappointed.

Imagine a dead world with a poisonous atmosphere. The last remaining humans have created a new life underground. Woman who are chosen as Mother's raise children until they are seven. The children then have their first birthday, after which they go away to attend school and they never see their Mothers again. The children have been genetically altered in the hope that they can breath the poisonous air on the surface. There are many miscarriages and infant mortality is high, only a few go on to continue their " education" . I loved this book, the last few chapters had a twist at the end making you want to buy the next one in the series just to see what happens next. Brilliant, five stars.

Doesn't get the green light from me in terms of continuing this. YA saga. I wasn't really expecting a literary masterpiece but the whole thing seemed lacking in style .

It’s a book

I've been reading Sci-fi for 30 years and I'm always looking out for new authors, new ideas and books that pull me in and not let me put them down. This is one of those books. Finished it at 03:30 this morning.Great story, strong plot and convincing characters.Are there some typos? Yip. Does it detract from the quality of the story? Nope. Just pre-empting those detractors who always whinge about typos. So what?! This is a great story.

I found this a bit boring in parts, but the story took off when the kids grew up. Very clever story and unfortunately this is exactly what would happen should this senario ever happen.

I'm surprised at how many stars this has. I wouldn't read a book like this again. The dialogue is slow and drawn out. Nothing is really that interesting. The story building isn't the best and the character descriptions are vague. I'm just forcing myself to read it as I don't like to waste money.

Tracking the story of a group of children who were bred to resist the now-toxic air of Earth, this is exciting stuff and I thoroughly enjoyed it. How the children deal with the challenges thrown up by power-crazed politicians and even treachery amongst themselves is fascinating, and the end is satisfying. I recommend The Amber Project without reservation.
