Version: A Sci-Fi Thriller Kindle Edition

by Craig Jenkins (Author), Karen Perkins (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
3.3 out of 5 stars 61 ratings
Between morality and reality, what will a man choose when all he knows is brutality?

2256: Ologun Jowett is convicted of carrying out a massacre and sent to the planet Deceiver to labour in its deep-sea mining facilities. He arrives as the planet undergoes a catastrophic ice age due to the appearance of ‘God’s Blade’ – a colossal fragment of unknown origin which has come to rest midway between Deceiver and its sun.

2338: Captain Frank Sharplin is the caretaker of Black Ball – the outpost established on God’s Blade – a non-taxing appointment as steward of what had once been a bustling city but is now little more than a tourist resort. His peaceful life is shattered when a transport is discovered under the ice on Deceiver. To his amazement, one of the passengers – Ologun – revives and life on Black Ball takes some unexpected turns.

The peace of Black Ball is shattered when IMC ships arrive and commence battle – with each other. Soldiers invade and the inhabitants run for their lives, desperate to find an escape.

More mysteries ensue. How does Ologun survive his horrific injuries? And what is his mission?

Can Sharplin overcome his passive nature and save the lives of those in his care?

What is the Prospect Division planning? And who are the ‘people’ who resist them?

Who or what is the mysterious Spectra?

“Version is a fast-paced sci-fi thriller, which will keep you gripped from beginning to end and have you shouting out loud at the characters – highly recommended.” Karen Perkins, bestselling author of Thores-Cross and the Valkyrie Series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sci-fi that's hard to put down

    Sometimes finding engaging new sci-fi is a struggle, but this really is a breath of fresh air; whenever I put it down I wonder what's going to happen next, it's a non-stop rollercoaster ride of a story and I can't wait to see what else Craig comes up with. For me this outperforms some of the traditional sci-fi writers for excitement, and for that reason alone, it's well worth a read.

    Started well and was looking forward to a really good read however the story fragments and becomes far to complicated. The idea behind the plot was a good one but in my view could have been told a lot better.

    4.0 out of 5 stars This is just my petty criticism
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2015
    Verified Purchase
    A good book, very readable, no serious complaints but I did get a little lost towards the end. The story jumps about in time and sometimes you need your wits about you to realise where you are. Personally there was a bit too much of this going on and so for me it did interrupt the flow at times. I also found it hard to visualise the main location. I find a 500 mile long abandoned city to be beyond my ability to perceive. In my minds eye the action that takes place in this 'shard' was all within about 25 square miles. But hey this is just petty criticism and overall its a good story and I will buy the second book when it comes out.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It’s great to find new sci-fi that’s a bit different…

    I really enjoyed this book. Good exciting plot and different enough to hold my interest throughout.

    It does jump about a bit, which I found confusing at times, but a great read all the same.

    I’m looking forward to the next one.

    I suppose that if I put my head down and kept plowing through this there may have been a story in it somewhere. Problem is, if there is no story this far in then it totally fails to draw me in and was boring me to tears. Sorry but I can't thing of any real sci-fi reader that would enjoy this, I sure didn't.
