Featured Review by Stephanie Elizabeth of The Prison of Power [September 9th Book of the Day]

[MMcB]

"The Prison of Power" by G Michael Smith introduces the reader to a ‘post-apocalypse’ world where males are distanced and women rule. There are factions of every political kind that long for the world to be different and for men to at least be valued and at best be placed, once again, in the primary ruling role. How will this turn out?
With well-defined characters and an intricate backstory the action takes place in 2051. You might just take a look at what could well be the future.

Well this is a different kind if thriller! I'm not one for futuristic books but I might give this one a try. I'm quite intrigued to see if the women stays in power. Thanks for a detailed review.

[Kibet Hillary]

I am an ardent reader of futuristic sci-fi books packed with lots of action. Though the book is really long, it is nice that it is enthralling and that the author develops each character well. Thanks for the amazing review.

[Tebogo Madiba]

As a lover of criminal thrillers, I would like to read the novel despite that women want to obliterate the male species in the world.

[Janhavi Singh]

This book seems interesting for the audience interested in dystopian novel, unfortunately I am not one of them, but I did like the plot.

[Vidhi Adhikari]

Books on dystopia and utopia are not really my thing but I'll definitely recommend this book to people interested in the genre. Congratulations on being listed as Book of the day.

[Tebogo Sebuso]

I think the book is quite interesting speaking about female wanting to rule the world so I would like to read the novel and find out that's true.

I take from your review that this book is set squarely on a topic that is at the forefront of popular culture today, that of the move from a male dominated past to the rise of feminism today. It seems to deal with the consequences of what would happen if the populist view is allowed to develop towards the extreme end of the spectrum. I gather from your review that the way this concept develops in the book as to where we could potentially be headed on this continuum will be thought provoking.

Your review is comprehensive and informative and leaves me intrigued as to what the outcome and lasting consequences of the impending revolution will be! I’m adding this to my “want to read shelf”.

Thanks for the review.

When I observe men harassing women or anyone else for simply being who they are, I strive to stand up. By the same token, it is equally incorrect to conclude that all men are terrible based on the behavior of a small number of them. I anticipate enjoying this one. I appreciate the review.

[EBERE WRITES COCEPT]

The opening paragraph of this review effectively sets the stage for the reader, introducing the dystopian world created by the author. The mention of "a string of ruthless attacks on women" and the "massacre of 2034" immediately grabs the reader's attention, creating a sense of urgency and intrigue. It's a compelling way to draw readers into the unique premise of the book, where women dominate all facets of power, and men are marginalized.

"The Prison of Power" by G Michael Smith is a fictional thriller set in the future. I am captivated already. I can imagine what the world would be like if roles are switched. Congrats on BOTD. Amazing review.

This reminds me of an alternate history where a plague wiped out majority of the male species and they became rare in the old Chinese empire. As a fan of dystopian stories, I'd love to read how the ending of this story will turn out. The characters have interesting personalities. Congratulations on the BOTD.

[Sameena Ansari]

The book's exploration of gender dynamics in a futuristic setting is captivating. I'm eager to delve into the lives of the diverse characters, as well as the intricate world-building that includes nanobots and fringe groups.

[Emmanuel Abiodun Olutayo]

This story sounds intriguing. A fictional thriller set in the future. I commend the author for this level of creativity. Congratulations on BOTD. Nice review.
