#BlogTour-‘The Gemini Experiment’ by Brian Pinkerton

About the book…

Meet Tom Nolan. And meet Tom Nolan.

One is a devoted family man recruited for an experiment to unlock the secrets of immortality.

The other is a robot replica, creating death and destruction.

When Russian spies discover the technological breakthrough to turn man into machine, the stakes are raised and Tom (or is it Tom?) must save the day.

This is my first Flametree science fiction book review, and if they are all like ‘The Gemini Experiment’, then it absolutely will not be my last!
It starts off at a fast pace which carries you through the trials of Tom Nolan’s life, to the gasp inducing last page, like the very best rollercoaster, leaving you feel lightheaded and wobbly footed yet ready to experience it all over again.

In a very human based story, Tom is a man who is dying. He is recruited for a top secret experiment which will replicate his body, and then he will be transferred into it. But it all goes horribly wrong when Tom’s twin goes on the run, bringing after him the Russian mob as well as the scientists keen to get the missing twin back before the science which created him can be used for evil.

But who in this story truly wears a white hat ,and who can actually say that their actions are altruistic?

Tom needs this body in order to live,so he is invested in getting this experiment back, but where does consciousness and personality lie,and to whom does his twin belong? And when it comes to it, can he kill to protect his life? The technology would be priceless in the wrong hands which is why the action goes from the man in the street up to government level involvement.

This is a near future set thriller of sci-fi fiction which I could totally get behind, it is fast, twisty and really ,really good! It reminded me of ‘The Running Man’ in absolutely the best way and I would thoroughly recommend this face paced read to anyone curious about sci-fi who is looking to expand their horizons.

Flametree publish the best in horror, fantasy and sci-fi and having read a lot of the horror, I am 100% up for branching out into the other fields.

Huge thanks to them for my copy of ‘The Gemini Experiment’ and to Anne Cater for the blogtour invite!
