Containment Breach by Wm. A. Yandell is a really interesting novel. It is a pure work of fiction as it is a science fiction and fantasy.

Major Bush and General Tallen are sent to oversee a mission at the Desert Space Operations Center. This is after the creatures made by Demetrius Zayack start attacking and killing humans. When a team led by Captain Alvarez leave the space station, they don't realize until they land that the creatures have escaped and made their way into earth. This calls for an urgent need to find a solution that will get rid of the creatures; both on earth and at the space station. Also, this has to be done quietly as the animals are out for blood yet, people on earth should not know this as it will trigger fear.

Walter Smithton is just a normal scientist who can't stop experimenting on life forms. And being a keen follower of Zayack he's believed to be able to stop the creatures from causing any harm. Therefore, together with a team of three other bioengineering scientists: Mercie, Jack and Steve, they are called into a strange meeting by their leader David. Walter feels something isn't right with this whole set up but he can't raise any suspicion. But Walter has his own secret which with the probing and the searching might just be discovered.

Randall has written a beautiful and amazing book. Considering this is a work of fiction lots of creativity has been invested into it. I love the plot of this story; it's not just intriguing but it's also interesting. The characters have been well-developed. You can easily tell a scientist because of their description. For instance, Walter is depicted as this down to earth person, who thinks before taking steps and has a strong instinct that saves him from situations. Bush is seen as a soldier and he's made into one by the words. The plot is to die for and I couldn't put down this book once I started it.

Moreover, I found no errors while reading so I think the book was well edited. Therefore, I think the author has done a good job generally. The book has 344 pages o generally it's quite a lengthy read. I definitely would read this book again, as it's really epic and easy to read. Despite the use of scientific jargon and terminologies, it doesn't render it hard to read as the subtle language of the conversations balances it out.

I rate this book a 4 out of 4 stars. I see no need in reducing that rating as the book is on point. I would recommend it to lovers of science fiction and fantasy. The book isn't for everyone, though, as there are gory scenes that might just affect some readers.

This sounds like a great book. It seems like Zayack is kind of like a mad scientist, and I love those kinds of stories. Thanks for the wonderful review!

What do you think about the lack of actual chapter separation? It forced me to go back a few pages every now and then just to make sure I was keeping track correctly.
