Descendants of Atlantis by Kerry Boytzun is a story about the life and struggles of Janus Demur, an underworld reptilian who was born without psionics (a special mind ability reptilians and aliens have). By being different, Janus is disliked by almost everyone, including his very own father. Rather than wallow in self-pity, Janus invests his time learning to be a programmer and becomes the best hacker the earth has ever had. This skill eventually ends up getting him into trouble when he goes for a job and gets killed. However, he does not die, but his consciousness is transferred to an alien body. Will Janus be able to survive in a world where people want him dead, even in his new body? Will he uncover the trail of lies and deceit that led to his death? More importantly, how did he get transferred into another person's body? This is a book narrating the deception and lies that go on in a society where everyone is focused on themselves, and betrayal is commonplace.

One of the positive aspects of the book is the use of descriptive words to paint pictures. The author uses a large number of descriptive words to immerse the readers into the activities going on in the book.

Another positive aspect of this book is the use of suspense. There are a large number of twists and turns present within the book, which leaves the reader glued to it, wanting to find out how the story of Janus ends. This high level of suspense makes the book a fascinating read. The author positions the book in a fictional underworld, directly below the Earth's surface, but this fictional world edges into the real world. This is one of the positive aspects of the book. The author crosses back and forth across his fictional realm and the world as we know it.

The book did not contain any negative aspects. I loved everything about it. While reading this book, I observed a very low number of errors within it. This leads one to believe that this book was proofread by an individual with a deep understanding of the English Language. This book also contains a high number of profanities and vulgar words used by the characters in the book. Words like 'f*ck,' 'bitch,' 'asshole,' etc., appear on numerous occasions throughout the novel. If this doesn't appeal to you, then you can skip the book.

I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. I rated this book high due to the aforementioned positive aspects and also because the novel is a very compelling read. I would recommend this book to all who are interested in fantasy and or in the existence of aliens. The book is better suited for a mature audience because it contains sex scenes.

I found this book very appealing based on your summary. Hackers and their abilities have always fascinated me. While profanity does not offend me, sex scenes usually do. Thanks for mentioning them.

I learnt the importance of building one's self in various areas rather than dwelling on your weaknesses which will actually yield no result.Good job.

This sounds like an interesting fantasy book, with a bit of technology element incorporated into it. The author seems to have done a great job writing it — using incredible suspense and creating immersive descriptions. I wonder what Janus has done that got him into trouble, and why would he be hunted again even after being transferred into another person's body. Thank you for the review.

[Shadreck Rogers]

Janus Demur sounds like a very strange and interesting character. The level of creativity of this book sounds exceptional. Thanks for the review.

[Shelby Ayres]

An underworld reptilian that is hated by his whole community including his family, is an interesting plot choice. I think this will be an interesting book to read. Great review!

[NetMassimo]

A reptilian hacker who dies and reincarnates into an alien body is quite an original protagonist for a story that also contains twists that keep the readers' attention. Thank you for your great review!
