Review by Kemunto lucy -- Containment Breach
Containment Breach is a villain sci-fi novel incorporating adventure. It is action-packed and takes us through scientific discoveries that pose danger to humanity, which need other bioengineering discoveries to be halted. The author is Wm. A. Yandell.
Demetrius Zayack, a great bioengineering scientist is alleged to have killed himself in station One, one morning in space. The creatures he created seem to be more capable and resistant than originally expected. They learn so fast and develop defensive mechanisms on their own. This is dangerous because it is impossible to tame them. Trouble shoots in when the creatures attack the crew members after landing at the base. The only person who could have helped in containing them is dead, and so is the group of scientists designated on this mission. Walter Smithton, a bioengineering scientist and a great follower of Zayack is the next hope. He is the only one who can help finish up these deadly creatures. This is a tough job since success is not guaranteed and there are so many questions surrounding Zayack's disappearance.
The scenes are vivid to the point where the violent episodes are so scary. The attacks are so real and you can literally hear the victims shouts and cries of pain in your ears. This shows that the author is skilled in giving details. The characters are well developed and are introduced according to demand. The leaders have their commanding voices and the scientists have their respected say. In short, there are no forced traits. The writing is well done with well researched information backing it up. The science section is well represented, the military service too and the political fraternity as well.
The themes of greed, adventure and violence are present. The greedy officials only fend for themselves and don't care of the awaiting danger. Their downfall is anticipated.
The only trouble I got is that, this being a book to be completed in more than one sitting, it needed to be put into chapters. Breaking it down would make it more convenient as it would be easier to trace any information or make a reference.
This book deserves a perfect rating and I, therefore, give it a 4 out of 4 stars. The editing is well done and the characters are interesting. Tension is well built up and this novel keeps you guessing till the very end. I recommend it to sci-fi readers who enjoy reading about mysterious creatures.
