An army of bionic humans made up as a last-ditch solution to establish peace will turn against humanity.
In the 22nd century, mankind enters into a new world war to produce the first generation of Tentorians. Cyborgs with functioning bodies and human intelligence, they are the first genuine success in artificial improvement. In time, the Tentorians come officially to be a nation, showing more and more their true nature: blood and power-thirsty, human-bodied machines. Thus, in the 25th century, the great powers made up their minds to hunt them down all over the world and have them isolated inside a region called TENTORIA.
A Tentorian nation that will bear consequences on the past.
The action moves back in time 500 years, to the year 2024 and to a planet Earth consisting but of a piece of land surrounded by one single large ocean, and a population of 12 million people ruled by a secret organization. Cole is a 27-year-old young man leading a happy life in this peculiar world. As the story unfolds, he realizes the reality of his existence at break-neck speed on the edge of survival.
“Are you ready to forget the future?”
About the Author:
Sorin Banu published his first book in May 2016, the dystopian novel “Tentoria”. He has graduated in Economics and his professional career has been in IT consulting. Sorin was born in Bucharest and currently lives in Brussels. He is passionate about metaphysics and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, etc., areas that have undoubtedly inspired him in his first book.
TENTORIA Review:
Tentoria is a gripping thrill ride with a fascinating premise and smart cast and was a fun book to read.
The story is a bit bumpy in the beginning as the narrative skips timelines and goes way into the future. However, the story picks up once Cole sees an ‘alien’ and gets captured by officials and taken into a facility. From then on, the plot is a rollercoaster ride and filled with action and adventure.
Moreover, I loved the concept of the story. The author paints the future as a grim dystopian nightmare filled with cyborgs and artificial intelligence. The scenes where Claire explains the pros and cons of the world to Cole engrossed me. Similarly, the author narrates the tale in a gripping manner where you feel like the situations mentioned in the book would happen in reality. I love books that touch on current events and makes you ponder on how the future would develop as.
At the same time, the author also wrote the characters nicely. I liked Cole and Claire and their relationship. Similarly, Chris and Arnar are also memorable in their storyline. I also liked the world-building and the rules of the Island. Many of the scenes are action-packed and very entertaining, and I enjoyed reading most of the book.
However, the ending felt rushed. The author resolves most of the storylines too quickly towards the climax. Moreover, there were still some questions unanswered, so I am assuming there will be a sequel?
Overall, do read this book if you love dystopian, futuristic, action books, or movies like The Terminator.
