21% Monster: Serpent Strike
Publisher: Usborne
It’s time to stop running, turn around, and fight back. Xastris has been calling the shots for too long and now things are really getting out of hand.
Xastris plans to achieve total world domination. By sacrificing the poor, the uneducated and those whose political views don’t align with their own, and mutating them into an unstoppable army,
But the four surviving members of Helix 51, the children who were the subjects of Xastris’s first experiments in mutation, are determined to stop them – even if it means they die trying.
In this breathtaking sci-fi action thriller, the heroes are four youngsters whose DNA has been contaminated to make them part monster, part alien and part sabre-toothed polar bear. As they try to reconcile their human sides with their extraordinary superpowers, they face challenging ethical dilemmas and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Serpent Strike is complex and gripping, the third in the 21% Monster series, and although it could be read as a stand-alone story, it will make much more sense if read in its proper place in the sequence.
If nanotechnology, xenotechnology, cognitive disrupter balls, camo suits and interdimensional portals intrigue you, 21% Monster is an absolute must.
