From the Torment of Dreams by Iain McKinnon

The subplots meander off the main plot, but like a pair of lovers strolling through a garden, they return to the main path when the time is right. After that point, the plot is well paced with heaps of action and adventure. But once the action started-in the midst of a battle in deep space-it didn’t stop. The pace seemed slow while the story line was being set up, and it took me some time to get into the plot. Known for apocalyptic zombie novels, Iain McKinnon delivers a fun sci-fi tale from the depths of space. It is a great ready with characters you either love or love to hate and in my book, that's a good thing! Ultimately, if you enjoy Sci-fi and military themed stories, then this is a book you should add to your collection without hesitation. I'm sure if I looked hard I could find some flaws, but the storyline, in general, kept me so focused that if there were any inconsistencies I did not pick them out.

From the Torment of Dreams is excellently paced with intense action and adventure of the sci-fi variety, but with the knowledge and know how of someone who has either seen battle or someone who pays attention and knows what they are talking about.

Sci-fi and military lovers alike should be very pleased with this piece. Great attention to detail is given and nary a plot or subplot gets dropped as things work towards getting tied together and all wrapped up at the end. I was not disappointed in his ability to continue with this style of writing. One talent I really enjoyed in the author's previous work was his attention to detail and the ability to describe a person, location or what have you without dragging the reader through a lengthy boring description. The battle waged in From the Torment of Dreams just happens to be fought in the future and in space. It is a story of us, of who we are and the battles we fight with each other and with ourselves.

Ok, shock over now onto reading and thus this review.įirst let me start by saying that this is a story that can easily be told from various locations and in various time periods. (Okay, okay, I'll admit I didn't read the blurb) So, of course, I said I would love to review it, but I made it known it might be a while.fast forward to me reading From the Torment of Dreams, wait, huh, it's not a zombie book? It's a sci-fi, military space drama. His work in the zombie genre has been traditional with some added elements of his own design, I love that. I was asked by the author to take a look at his latest work and having read Remains of the Dead a while back I had no doubt I was interested in reading more of Mr.
