Finished: The Bunker Book 1 by EJ Camacho
It's the end of the world as we know it thanks to a giant corporation called Genro deciding they can run the world better then the current incumbant governments. Cue nuclear destruction and Genro trying to recover & carry out thier plans. Their militant wing "Hydra" are clearly all GAY. They fight, train & KILL naked. Yep. Naked. The next breed of "super warriors" are all butt buddies. Apparently because it was good for the Greeks, who felt women were only around for "breeding on" it's good for Hydra.
This book was a seriously disturbing read on so many levels. Firstly the entire book/conversations/description was stilted and forced. The author has clearly never heard or embraced the term "less is more". It felt like he was trying to cover deficiencies in his ability by using word overkill. I say word overkill because he could have made this book half the length and far more enjoyable. A good place to start? The gay naked Hydra. I mean seriously, you gonna take the time to strip naked & fold your clothes before a fight? And the other guy is just going to wait while you do? YOU'RE DEAD FREAK. See thats just another level of disturbing, cause no warrior I know would take the time to get naked & ask his opponent to play nice & not KICK HIS ARSE while he does it.
The gore I think could have been modified. He either went too far or not far enough. He needed to find the happy (pun intended) middle ground. Sadly he failed. Every time.
Now this is the first of a trilogy. I bought the first 2 only on readers reviews which sounded generally favourable. But seriously. I will be struggling to get through. I will go on faith that the second book is better written. And if it's not.. I won't be going back for the third (which is currently unreleased!).
