Ben Schneider is the author of Chrome Mountain, and it is in the genre of fantasy or science fiction. Sonya McCall is one of the members of the Screamon Demons. The Screamon Demons is a group of gangsters whose objectives are to steal and kill people. Levi North is the leader of the Screamon Demons, and he is the boyfriend of Sonya. Sonya cannot live again with Levi because the recent rubbing cases have caused the victims a lot of pain and agony. Also, Levi physically abuses his girlfriend, Sonya. Sonya runs away with Levi’s stolen money.

Trey is a great scientist, and he invented the machine capable of making aircrafts invisible when flying. But he later destroyed the device for the fear that many crooks will use his tool for their evil desires. The Chrome Falcons is one of the notorious terrorist groups in the United States of America. The group has great scientists contributing to its technological advancement. So the Chrome Falcons pursue Trey so that he can create that tool or machine capable of hiding flying helicopters from their enemies. But Trey is a scientist not ready to use his knowledge for things which are unclean or not righteous. Trey is on the run, and he meets Sonya, the lady with a strong foundation of martial arts to help Trey survive.

Sonya and Trey were the two central characters turning the plot. Sonya learned martial arts from the Screamon Demons, and that later helped her to defend herself. When Sonya's roles are critically analyzed, one will notice that she did not let her needs to make her an evil person. She left the group because of the pain the gangsters inflict on their victims. Also, Trey was not ready to become rich by selling the tool, which would be used by many gangsters for carrying out their terrorist attacks. And I was glad about Trey’s decision to destroy the machine.

Ben made the two notorious groups intriguing, from the beginning to the end. There were always action and suspense. The Screamon Demons were concentrated on rubbing people, while the Chrome Falcons were interested in conquering the whole world. The mission of the leader of the Chrome Falcons wanted to make the group more advanced in the area of technology. So the leader was committed to bringing together great scientists to even make the United States of America work under the Chrome Falcons.

What I liked least about the book were the strange words that Ben used in his work. Ben should have included a glossary of the odd words used. The glossary would have facilitated more readers to follow the narrative quickly. Furthermore, I was expecting a prologue to help prepare me into the main story, but that did not happen.

I, therefore, rate the work 4 out of 4 stars. There were two grammatical errors found after I finished reading the book. The editor or Ben did an excellent job for professionally editing the work. Rating the work three would be unjust, as I enjoyed the action by the two notorious groups. I would recommend the work to people who love action scenes, as they are many combating scenes in the book. People who do not enjoy the activities of gangsters or crooks should not read this work because the work is full of criminal plots.
