If you enjoy Clines’ Threshold Universe books I would recommend this book as well.

My Summary (4/5): Overall I enjoyed this it is fast-paced, engrossing and easy to read. There are a lot of gross parts in here especially if you don’t like bugs or centipedes…I skimmed some of these descriptions because they gave me the heebie jeebies. Some of the premise is a bit implausible but it was still intriguing, plain weird, and kind of fun. This was an easy read, it almost read itself and was very hard to put down. I enjoyed the characters and the fast pace of the story. There are underlying themes about immigration and child rights throughout the story as well. What is unveiled is an odd story of a broken space in reality and children being tested in that space to see what happens to them. Initially the story alternates between Hector trying to help Natalie and Natalie recounting her early life at The Project. Suddenly Hector is back in action trying to protect Natalie from a group known only as The Project. The premise is that a young girl named Natalie finds an ex-special ops man named Hector and calls in a favor from one of Hector’s dead friends. I am not sure if this ties in with Clines’ larger Threshold Universe, but it could…it has many similar elements about breaching other planes of reality.

Thoughts: This was an odd read that was engrossing, hard to put down, and very fast-paced. I got a eGalley of this from NetGalley to review. Series Info/Source: This is a stand alone book. Because the people behind the Project are willing to risk almost anything to get Natalie back and complete their experiments.” Now Hector and Natalie are on the run from an army of killers sent to retrieve her. That’s how she ended up with the ghost of a dead secret agent stuck in her head.Īnd Hector owes Natalie’s ghost a big favor. And getting taken away to the Project with dozens of other young children to become part of their nightmarish experiments. Natalie can’t remember much of her life before her family brought her to the US, but she remembers the cages. But when his own country betrayed him, he dropped off the grid and picked up the first of many bottles. A government operative who could bring armies to a halt and nations to their knees.
