Saving Raine (The Drone Wars, #1)

When I first read the blurb, I was a bit unsure as to whether or not I should read this title as I don't generally read futuristic/dsytopian novels. However, for some unexplained reason I felt tempted to give it a try. I figured I did not have much too lose from reading it. If the book was good then I would have been thoroughly entertained but if it was bad then my only regret would have been the time wasted spent reading it. Well after completing Saving Raine, I must say without a doubt this was one temptation I had no regret yielding to.

In Saving Raine we meet Matt Carney who was forced to watch the FBI arrest his father for no apparent reason. Matt was then forced from the place he has called home for his nineteen years by his stepmother. It was clear that she hated him and would do anything to be rid of him. After receiving a strange message from his father Matt set out on a hazardous journey to save his girlfriend Raine.

Saving Raine is a fast paced, action packed, intriguing , gripping and thrilling read which had me hooked from the very first line. There were several stories taking place at once which was a bit distracting and confusing at times however they eventually came together which helped me to get a better understanding of what was really taking place in this story.

The author's description of the future was a bit intriguing and scary at the same time. Intriguing in terms of the technology being used and scary as it relates to the devastation that this same technology could create. I am so glad it's all in his imagination.

This a great start to a new series which I would recommend to persons who love this type of genre. This is my first time reading Frederick Lee Brooke and it was definitely a worthwhile experience.
