Review of Pulse: Book One
[Following is a volunteer review of "Pulse: Book One" by B.A. Bellec.]
Pulse: Book One is a thrilling and thought-provoking novel that delves into important societal issues while keeping readers on the edge of their seats. The author's masterful storytelling unfolds a world filled with environmental pollution, social injustices, and the dire consequences of unchecked ambition and power.
Nature enthusiasts Amber and Max embark on their mission to deface PulseFest billboards, challenging the event's commercialization. Natalie, the mastermind behind the Anti-P organization, has a personal vendetta against Alan Sharpe and Sharpe Resources and Mining Ltd. due to their role in causing widespread pollution. Natalie's lawsuit against Mr. Sharpe ends in defeat, resulting in the tragic loss of her sister due to health complications caused by fracking on their rural New York farm.
Pulse: Book One tackles a myriad of pressing themes such as environmental degradation, social inequality, greed, exploitation, illegal trade, and the adverse effects of technology, including addiction to social media, poor health, and the threat of job loss. The introduction of numerous characters in Part One might initially feel overwhelming, but it gradually becomes apparent that each plays a vital role in the intricate web of events.
The brilliance of the author shines through as the narrative unfolds, capturing the reader's attention and leaving them craving answers for what happens next. The dystopian world depicted in 2045, with its advanced technology and automation, appears all too plausible. The false promise of more leisure time is shattered by the reality of environmental decay, unemployment, and political corruption, highlighting the perils of misplaced ambition.
Pulse: Book One earns a well-deserved five out of five stars. I really enjoyed the horror parts and I did not find any thing that I could dislike. There were no significant grammar errors, which suggests that the book is exceptionally edited. The book's themes resonate deeply, as they mirror real-world concerns and raise important questions about our collective future.
I wholeheartedly recommend Pulse: Book One to horror enthusiasts seeking action-packed narratives that explore critical societal issues. It will captivate readers who strive to create a better future, as it vividly illustrates the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition. Prepare yourself for a thrilling and eye-opening reading experience. Being book one in the sequel, I can say that it can be read as a standalone. But since it is a sequel, once readers have finished reading book one, they will feel the urge to continue reading other books in the series as they try to seek answers to the questions left in the first book.
