My Fatal Futility Shellshock by N J M Hemfrey is positively one the THE BEST Sci-fi books I’ve EVER read in my life, and certainly THE BEST Sci-fi book I’ll read this year.
It’s big, it’s intriguing, it has humour, sarcasm and tech with a suitable narrative and an approach to futuristic materials that actually makes you envision the future, and you will not have to wait much until the first battle takes place with all its might and imagery! It’s VERY COOL.
Although the book is packed with words, the simple narrative does help us forget about those 500+ pages and actually read and enjoy the story through it, as it steadily and smoothly develops.
This is an indie book that feels like it was published by a top tier literary house!
There are several elements when it comes to imagery here that we must take notice. First, it’s the animalistic fusion of beasty and human figures, which evoke many things and as intended, give that Asian-like, more accurately, Japanese-like atmosphere, especially after the combo with words written how they would be pronounced in Japanese, which is always a nice touch indeed. The second thing that we notice, or have to notice is how these same images make us understand each character that has it, given that it will mark some of their personalities and roles. It’s something well-put by Neil J M Hemfrey.
