I received an invite to review a copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
How far would you go to be one of the last humans on earth? The novel The Green Panthers tries to show exactly what could befall our world should those with excess money and power attempt to quash the "little man" in the year 2029.
The story starts out quite promising with The Green Panthers, a team of random people with various skills all named after shades of green, trying to save an endangered species. However, they stumble upon something much greater that has the implications of a much more dire, nefarious plot at hand. At this point, the story starts to become more fantastical to the point of unbelievability which is unfortunate (for me). The premise of Vater's novel is an amazing one and had it not had so many bizarre elements (especially one starting with the letter "E" but I don't want to spoil the story) then I would have been able to give a solid 4.5 stars. With that being said, if you're up for an outlandish Captain Planet-type of novel, then this is the story for you.
