Yes, this is, at it’s heart, a “potboiler thriller“. An everyman (or every-men) thrown into fantastical situations. Conspiracy theories. The government needs their help… save the clones, save the world. But there is also so much more. Yes, one could read this like a Dan Brown novel, wonderfully written prose pulling the reader along on a thrill ride – a novelization of an action flick. Puzzles. Mysteries. Secrets. But Hutchins creates a world that is more than one-dimensional. We are taken along not only through the experiences of one everyman… but seven. “7th Son: Descent” grabs you from the beginning. Hutchins is truly a “word-herder”, grabbing you, teasing you, pulling you along on his katabatic journey.
And you lusciously succumb to his words, his characters, his twists and turns.
And you… comply.
