An interesting novel about prisons for profits, a drug to prevent crime, and other assorted bizarre and corrupt political fantasies.

The Premise by Andy Crossfield is a political crime fiction that will keep readers turning the pages. There's enough action that moves the plot in a fast pace. The suspense will hang in the air like a thick-covered blanket until the ending. Andy Crossfield's writing is brilliant. It combines science, politics, and crime all into one magnificent read. Technology and science hand-in-hand used to solve world issues like ending diseases. The Premise shows readers how easily corruption, greed, power can occur taking everything that is good and using it for the worst. As long as there, is good there will always be evil too. The characters come from all paths of life. Creating an interesting set of characters and a lot of twists. For those who love a good murder and suspense novel, this is definitely a must read. Once readers open this book, they will not want to stop reading it. Overall, I highly recommend this story to readers everywhere.

This book has been in my queue for about a year now and I finally got around to it. It was a quick read and good thriller. There are a few typos and grammatical errors but the story was so intriguing it was easy to overlook. I enjoyed the characters but I did want to slap one or two a couple times for how they reacted or something they said but such is characters in books lol. Sometimes one might have to suspend belief to go along with the story but not too bad.

To me, towards the end, things got a little like "really" with the whole DNA eye change thing but overall I still quite enjoyed it. Saw there is meant to be a sequel, "Absolution," sometime this year so I'm looking forward to it.

This is a great book! Mr. Crossfield has done a great job of taking a unique plot line and combining it with wonderful details, fun twists, and some cunning surprises. Even more, you can tell the author went to great lengths to carefully think out all the ramifications of the Premise! I highly recommend this book and hope that you enjoyed it as much as I.

Kind of scrambled

The delivery of the story was haphazard
Not delivered too smoothly and parts not believable
I enjoyed the characters and had no trouble finishing but the book did not compel me to grab it at any opportunity
