[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Savagery of Man" by Nikki Yanu Kanati.]
Nikki Yanu Kanatu’s The Savagery of Man: Operation Homecoming is an intense action book with high-level government conspiracies and political division in a dystopian setting. The United States has the threat of another civil war caused by the secession of several states joining forces to create the League of North American States. Russia and China have become destitute by their failing economies. President Calhoun has been assassinated. At the center of the world’s turmoil is a secret group: Section M3.
Max Doss is a reserved elite field agent. Max Doss’s skill with weaponry, logistics strategy, and loyalty is unrivaled. His new partner, Alejandra Bijeau, is a deadly tactical agent who excels in technology and flirts with everyone. The two agents have contrasting personalities, but their effective teamwork during deadly missions makes them unstoppable. Their boss orders Doss and Bijeau to find and bring the scientist, Billy Duc, to Section M3. Duc is wanted by more than one person, which adds significant obstacles to the mission. What does Duc know or possess that makes him so valuable?
The Savagery of Man: Operation Homecoming is a gripping science fiction story with several storylines. Some of the subplots include the assassination of Calhoun, alien technology, a new president willing to allow the country to be divided into two nations, and a man claiming to be the direct descendant of Genghis Khan. There are no dull moments to be found, as the unpredictable plot has Doss and Bijeau thrown into time-sensitive operations. The military action scenes depict realistic scenarios, including the importance of communication and a sense of danger.
I found nothing that could improve The Savagery of Man: Operation Homecoming. Outside of the dramatic fighting scenes, there are moments of witty humor I couldn’t help laughing at. For example, when Doss told Bijeau not to call him bossman, she followed everything she said to him with bossman. I was impressed with the accuracy of the author’s depiction of military gear and various aircraft. Most people may not know the differences between an Apache helicopter and a Blackhawk helicopter. The author gave vivid details of both, making it easy to envision what each helicopter was capable of.
I am rating this amazing book five out of five stars. The exceptional character development and the detailed stories are easy to follow. The unpredictable plot twists offer revelations that add depth to every moment. Several interrogations occur with each mission, connecting the various stories together, showing their significance to the overall content of the book. This novel makes an excellent foundation for a series.
The Savagery of Man: Operation Homecoming will appeal to readers who are fans of technology and military strategy. Due to the portrayal of the graphic horrors of war, I would recommend this book to mature readers. Can humanity survive the conflict between the oppressed and the power of the elite?
