As the old world burned, the elite departed to colonise space in search of a new home. Most of the human species perished on earth's surface, but a protected few remained. Many generations passed without question, but now suspicions are starting to rise. Follow the story of Maz and her best friend Hap, as a chance encounter with a stranger lures them into a mission to decide the future of humankind.

Killer Domes and the Chosen One by Gibbo Gibbs is an excellent dystopian tale. It is also a quick read.

Will the Chosen One prevail?

Maz

Maz is our point of view character. How to describe her? Maz is highly intelligent, bossy, bald, and good at created virtual worlds. OK, the bald part isn’t nice but is accurate as all the dome dwellers are bald. It seems to have to do with their daily reboots. Oops! I’m not sure it is a spoiler. Maz wants to learn about things that are forbidden, but she doesn’t want to break the rules. She is a little sneaky.

Things that I like about Maz, once she is out of the dome, she grows into her own. I think she will be a good-hearted character.

Mitch

The Chosen One is Mitch. The dome that he lived in is now being disrupted by the ash-bots, or is it? Mitch feels his purpose is to bring the dome dwellers from his dome out into the sun and start a new civilization. Yes, he has that more superior than thou persona. At times, he is a jerk. However, Mitch has only one friend, a reformed ash-bot named Logan. Logan does what Mitch asks him to do and is continually watching over Mitch. I thought Logan was creepy from the start, but I will let you decide that for your self.

Mitch is in a relationship with Sanbon, the daughter of the out-of-the-domes people. However, Mitch doesn’t know much about emotions and has a hard time choosing the right path when it comes to Sanbon.

The World

The dome idea was a good one, and it’s purpose and process are well thought out. Each individual is given a “pod” or room, with a bed and what is needed. Minimalist is the way I pictured it. Their basic needs are all met, from individualized nutrition, body care, and daily reboots to rid them of emotions. The one thing that they have forgotten is “free will.” Free will is where Mitch comes in, or is it?

Four Stars

I liked the story, and therefore I am giving Killer Domes and the Chosen One four stars. The character growth is spectacular, the snippy comments and the big egos are all fun to watch unfolding. If you are looking for a quick read with that touch of fantasy, this is a good book for you.

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Killer Domes and the Chosen One by Gibbo Gibbs.

Until the next time,
