• The Edge of Darkness on Jan. 14, 2012
  
  really enjoyed The Edge of Darkness. It is a great futuristic, dystopian, sci-fi story with a strong message about humanity (as all, or most, dystopian stories are): how flawed we are as the human race, and how much damage we do to each other, confined to this small planet. The 'planet' these characters are confined to is a giant space ship. The characters, a group of cyborgs, and their struggles trapped aboard a space ship for many years, was really compelling. Before I read The Edge of Darkness, I thought, how interesting can that be? A bunch of half-humans, all stuck on a big ship in space? But how very wrong I was! The Edge of Darkness is a thriller, full of drama and turmoil. It focuses on the life of strong willed Max Ryan, who doesn't let her situation get her down, even when everything in her life goes against her (because the cyborgs are not thought as real people, and just second class citizens). Max and a small group of allies go on a journey to find a way to free themselves from their mental, emotional and physical shackles, and in the process find something horrifying and disturbing. Something that Max uses to her advantage. If you're a sci-fi fan, or a fan of dystopian literature, definitely pick this up! This is a very unique story, like nothing I've ever read. You won't be disappointed!
