The Dark Continent is about a group of prisoners with death sentences and taken by researchers in a section of the government. The fifteen cons are being tested to have certain skills increased within their bodies. During a rough storm they escape taking a doctor with them. They manage to create murder and huge mayhem causing a blackout that went through majority of the United States. They storyline and plots are full of many twists and turns that it can be hard to put down. For me the book begins a little slow and can confuse a reader as we’re not given much information on what’s occurring or even has occurred. It was a few chapters in and I began to understand what the research was about, and then wanted to keep reading to see what the test subjects were deciding to do. I understood more of what was happening or happened during the introduction of Tom and Karl’s stories. As I read more chapters I viewed events that caused people to steal, pillage, banding together to fight which gave the storyline an impact of similarities to being apocalyptic middle and ending to the story. A cliffhanger which leaves a confusing ending and unanswered questions as I am left wondering on what happened to certain characters. I’m looking forward with baited breath in hope there will be another book with answers to unanswered questions. Great book for readers who love to read the genres of mystery & thrillers and sci fi & fantasy; this book is similar to the end of time or apocalyptic style storyline.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from via NetGalley for my honest review of the book . The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own thoughts, feelings and viewpoints of the book.
