What if everyone feared you?

Rael Pointe has powers that others fear, powers that even cause others pain.  He has implants in his head that allow him to access computers.  He was rescued from the Hive and raised by Marion Mahata, a woman with powerful political connections.  Rael will soon have a purpose as he trains and eventually begins commanding his own team.  But what will Rael learn as his team of rogues takes on this latest mission?

The early sections of THE FIREBORN CHRONICLES: FIREBORN FOUND read almost like separate short stories, which was initially a bit disconcerting.  All of the sections eventually begin tying together as the story progresses.  However, the first bit seemed somewhat disjointed as a little more character development and descriptions of the setting would have helped the early parts of the book.  But once I got settled into this world, wow, what a journey! 

Rael is one of the more intriguing characters I’ve ever read about. His ability to manipulate and access computers in this high tech world makes him a force to be reckoned with! The other characters add that needed touch of humanity to a man that otherwise might seem more machine than anything else.

Mary Andrews has quite a few surprises in store for the reader as this is one sci fi book chock full of twists and turns.  Give THE FIREBORN CHRONICLES: FIREBORN FOUND time to develop as the story is certainly worth it once you see how all of the pieces fit together!  This is definitely a pure science fiction book and I suspect that fans of shows such as Star Trek will enjoy this one.
