All Against All

a very deep sharp swipe at human nature in a man-made dystopia that is quickly rushing towards us. Less science fiction rather than simply a possible path to the near future. the billionaire class is more popular than ever much more popular or an influential than the dying royal family. And the billionaires unlike the royals don't even have to pretend to have loyalty to any land or people. this feels ripped from the headlines of tomorrow. couldn't even call this writing cynical because the real hearing now is already so dystopian and it's truthful nature. heck we have writers on strike now destined to be replaced by AI writers anyway. it is touching sentimental horrid of course. in fact facing the politics of the day May 8th 2023. it seems almost whimsical in its optimism because the reality is so much darker and so much worse than this imagine dystopia

I feel like this could be a great limited series on Netflix or something. I enjoyed the concept a lot and would love to see more of the characters fleshed out on a screen! wishful thinking, I guess. but for a free read, this is excellent. this was my intro to Nathan and I've read 4/6 of his books so far. about to get into the last two (war on horror 1&2) and am excited. they have all been hits (except the pretenders I did not enjoy nearly as much as the others) and I quite enjoy his writing style. look forward to more like this.

Very intense and compelling. Well written with characters, places and situations you can feel. This story tells a futuristic version of the world where greed leads to man's loss of humanity and power to man's inhumanity to man. I found this book most enthralling. You can consider how this story is possibly more true to life or future than not. Really makes you think about our priorities, how we choose to live, where we want our lives to lead and what our lives will mean to future generations. This is a very good book and an author to watch for. A recommended read.
