Amortals by Matt Forbeck

The Blurb On The Back:

The USA, tomorrow. For some, death is a thing of the past. But then they brought Secret Service agent Ronan “Methusaleh” Doonan back with a new clone body, to hunt his own killer.

That was their first mistake.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

A solid SF thriller set in a dystopian future, this book’s particularly interested in cloning and the effects of the same on society and the individual. There are some interesting ideas in the book, but the characterisation is perfunctory and Doonan never really lifted off the page for me to believe in his journey. The last quarter of the book also didn’t work for me, the heaviness of the plot explanation spoiling the pace and tension. However, an open ending means that I’d definitely be interested in checking out a sequel to the book if Matt Forbeck writes one.

Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the free copy of this book.
