Review: Vanguard of Man by JD Lovil

Vanguard of ManVanguard of Man by Jd Lovil

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I'd love to be cheeky and say this was a look at the future is a certain person with the last name of "Paul" was elected, but that would be unfair to the author and the the book itself. Indeed there is a President Paul, who blames the previous administration for the horrible economic collapse, but that's only part of the problem. The Earth has been thrown into chaos, global warming, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and last but not least, nuclear war have hobbled our planet and left in uninhabitable. A fleet of Ark Ships has carried humans into space where they breed with uberhumans that have been enhanced with nano technology and then sent into planets that will support human life to colonize. The writing moves along swiftly and smoothly and the characters are fully developed to the point you can picture them on the small or big screen. what really stands out is the amount of detail that Lovil has put into this hard science fiction tale. It is wondrously written and was a pleasure to read.
