Synopsis: The year is 2012, Luis Oden is about to graduate as an Aerospace Engineer and he expects to be chosen to participate in the ambitious Project Hermes, to develop a new generation of space shuttles in the new European Aerospace Center of Seville, Spain. His life is seemingly perfect until he begins to suffer recurring nightmares where mighty beasts, that seem to come from the Norse mythology, assault and torture him urging him to wake up. But wake up to what?
Meanwhile, Jack Preston, a Lieutenant Colonel from the USAF and responsible for the tests of the X-56 Phoenix, a prototype of an orbital superiority combat jet fighter, is sent together with his crew to Seville to review the development of the Hermes program. There he will meet Luis when they are chosen to star the parachuting exhibition for the Columbus Day.
Both Luis and Preston ignore it, but a dark menace is coming and only their choices will be able to give a chance to humanity to survive.
I thought this was a pretty good book. I felt that it had some really good twists and turns and that the book was pretty well plotted out. I also thought the writing was pretty good as well.
However, I do feel that the characters fell flat for me. I didn’t really connect with them or the story overall. I thought the story was too fast paced as well and overall I felt it was kind of disjointed.
Verdict: Pretty good story, but I didn’t connect with it.
