1) Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
2) Genre: Sci-fi
3) Synopsis: Titans (nanobot enhanced super soldiers) disappeared 100 years ago fighting of an alien race that almost whipped out the human race. The Titans are coming back to earth but not for a victory party. They are coming back to finish off the human race.
4) Feelings: Justin R. Macumber is the host of one of my favorite podcasts (Dead Robots’ Society). When I first heard about his book on the podcast I liked the idea. The idea of nanobot enhanced super soldiers really appeals to me. They appealed to me so much I was a little frustrated early on in the book wanting them to show up and start the bloodshed. When they did show up I was very happy and enjoyed the action and ending.
5) Final recommendation: This was an enjoyable book with a very creative and interesting plot line. Started out a little slow for me with some overly creative descriptions but once into the meat of the story everything came together nicely. Excellent read.

If you're a fan of sci-fi, then this is a must read. The futuristic setting is very believable, the plot is action packed, and the characters are very well developed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading the prequel.

It isn't quite fair, but Haywire puts me in mind of the Fifth Element. It certainly isn't as goofy, but Haywire certainly has the same love of big action at a badda-boom pace. (And it has an actual ending!)
