4.5 Stars'Domination' is the final book in the CHAOS trilogy; a young adult science fiction dystopian series that follows CHAOS Military Cadet and teenage hero Colt McAlister as he continues to help fight the alien race that threatens to eradicate the Earth and wipe out humanity. After the government injected Cole and other children with Thule alien blood, hoping to create the legendary Betrayer, he fears that he might be turning more Thule than human. Cole's destiny as The Betrayer may cost him more than just his life - it could very well cost him his identity and his soul.This was a fantastic and thrilling final book in a wonderfully crafted dystopian trilogy. Cole's character matured and went through major changes and growth in this novel, which only led me to love him more as the main character. Cole is strong, courageous and smart, but he's also humble, afraid and unsure of himself at times - which makes him very realistic as a character and easy to identify with for the reader. The plot was very well written with a fast pace and vivid details and descriptions that immediately draws the reader into the story. I was hooked from the first page of the book and I didn't stop reading until the final word. The story weaves a great story and blends action, science fiction, adventure, dystopia, and fantasy into a novel that is sure to please fans of all genres. The writing was expertly done and shows the immense talent of the author and his ability to paint a realistic picture of a dystopian world that the reader can lose themselves in. Highly recommended for fans of all genres, especially YA dystopian.Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
As the story opened upon a wasted landscape, little details and dialogue revealing a mass devastation event, I was thinking the next chapter would do a recap of (insert number) months ago/before. It didn't, which told this finale starts at the end, a rare move today from what I've seen, and almost unheard of in Christian teen fiction, though the move proved effective in terms of storytelling throughout this quick read (it took me 4 days to get through). In hindsight, even though it's all sci-fi, it does rely on little elements of World War 2 to propel the story into the future.Invasion dealt with the scarred minds of looked-upon heroes and where the true heroes get their courage.Alienation dealt with the psychological warfare of Nazis (though it was aliens here) and subtle dividing and conquering with a little spiritual edge and learning who can be trusted.In this, the end shows how even the strongest of enemies can have paranoia about everyone (just like Hitler did), plus one main enemy throughout was a Nazi war criminal in human disguise (that was already revealed in book 2, no spoiler here). There's plenty more spiritual inferences here (such as recommendations for prayer before any big battles), so no worries over if your teens will be reading a good Christian book or not. Also a lot of dry humor (including a wet belch from an alien, what he said afterward got me howling with laughter).By the end, this felt satisfying an end for C.H.A.O.S. and their stories.
I love when authors dedicate their time to writing books that will encourage young adults and make them think about their God given purpose in life!Domination is #3 in the C.H.A.O.S trilogy. My oldest was able to review book #2 before this one and was pretty excited to jump back into the story and review this one!In my son's words :This book is a lot like the second book, there is a lot of fighting, the characters are the same, and the same threat exists.The Thule are a race of aliens that have destroyed all the planets surrounding their home planet and they come here to take over Earth to have control of our resources. Colt and his friends are involved with a Special Operations Team known as CHAOS.In this story Colt is the hero. He was injected with Alien blood in the past and has undergone a change that has given him unique talents and abilities. Colt goes on a mission to the Thule home-planet to attempt to destroy their power plants. He is faced with concern regarding his leadership abilities and responsibilities, as the leader of the mission he fears he will not be successful.I really like Colt's character because he handles situations with a level head when he must react quickly. He treats everyone with honor and respect no matter who they. While Colt is still dealing with the loss of his parents, he tries to keep from hating the Thule, he is not trying to seek revenge he is simply trying to protect his home.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I know J enjoyed the book, he read it in about a day and a half - which he did the same with book #2 - I think one afternoon. This seems to be a series that draws everyone right in and keeps their attention. I would recommend this book for an fans of fast paced action books, and it is safe for young adults too!!NOTE : We received an electronic copy of Domination, in exchange for an honest review by BookSneeze.
