Second Life of Mr. Hunt: Book 1: Resurrection Paperback – 11 Jun. 2017

This was a nice quick easy read, definitely worth my time, bought the others currently in the series and will continue when book no 4 comes out.

What a mixture of 80s TV sci-fi, christianity and post-apoc fanatsy! Buck, sorry Ryan, arrives by the convergance of good luck, way out there cloning techniques and the intervention of an actual angel, in the year 50,000. This far future sees mankind on a far flung planet with an amazing eclectic mixture of technology - some chairs hover, other have anit-gravity, whole people can be grown from ashes in a vat in a few hours but the body guard and loyal servant to an oligarch has what appears to be a clockwork prosthetic leg! Don't get me started on the AIs!I nearly gave up with the background/history section of the book, where we are taken in a few giant leaps from current times to the year 50,000. There were momnets of interest that were cruelly stopped for the next leap in history. But on the whole this section (about 30% of the book) is a drudgery to read.Once we reach the year 50,000 the book settles into a more interesting read. The characters are surprisingly shallow which is a shame. The author starts to fill them out but it just isn't possible to place a human 48,000 years in to the future and have him barely dusturbed by this in less than 10 pages.One thing in Ryans favour is that although the English language of 1000 years ago is virtually unreconisable to a modern person, the English langauge of 48,000 years in the future is identical without even an accent to overcome. Except the future mankind don't know the word "dude".The basic story itself is not bad but the 'big reveal' near the end was, like the rest of the book, done too quickly and lacked the depth of story telling that would build anticipation and anxiety in the reader. Shame, as an opportunity was missed.I am curious enough to want to read the next book, but it is not high on my priority list.Oh, there were vampires in it briefly as well. No idea why.

This book is not quite what I expected have certainly enjoyed reading it .but won't spoil it by putting in any spoilers. But good for anyone looking for something different .

This book was an ecxcellent read. I could not put it down,wanting to know what was going to happen next.Good story and good characters.I can hardly wait for the next one. From beginning to end,it was a good continuation of events.Never got boring or slow.Good work!

The Second Life of Mr. Hunt.I have to start out by saying that I am not a huge sci-fi fan. I always felt that sci-fi was just too far out for me and I couldn't wrap my mind around entire worlds that look nothing like the world I inhabit every day. Well, this book changed my outlook completely. I’m not going to run out and join sci-fi conventions, but I will say my attitude toward sci-fi novels has changed and this book is the reason why.The first chapter or two set the scene, explaining how the world got to this point and I read along like a good reader, but wasn't really engaged. It’s the backstory to how we got to the current state. Okay, I get why it’s there. However, once chapter three rolled around, I was full-in. Strong character development? Check. Riveting plot? Check. Well-paced storytelling. Triple-check. I was hooked!I don't want to give away any secrets, but not all is as it seems and you'll have to read the book to figure out who is good, who is bad, and what is really going on. It’s fast-paced and action packed. The best part is that you don’t need a spreadsheet to keep up with the list of characters as in other novels. This is what storytelling is about. An engaging story with just enough in each chapter to pull you through to the next. It's an excellent first novel and I cannot wait to read the next installment to see what happens.

Excellent sci-fi story. Enjoyable reading with very interesting characters. Loved the creativity in describing how the earth and the galaxy evolved over thousands of years. Looking forward to the next book and finding out what happens to Ryan and Kat.

A very interesting blend of sci-fi, fantasy, post-apocalypse space thriller. A man out of time, a looming war with ancient evil, and mysterious artifacts with untold power and potential. I am very much looking forward to the next book.

The mix of religion and science was good. The character development was average and emotional development was cliché. Unfortunately there are just too many "there just happened to be" unstead of emaginative invention. One main character, the AI, was ill used, explained, explored and lacked interaction with the main character that would explain motivation and emotional development in an AI. The love interest is not played with at all leaving the emotional connection contrived. The outline of the story is great. But the story execution is immature lacking fulfillment of literary moments that could have elevated the story greatly greatly. The beginning of the story was well developed too bad the rest of the story was not.
