My review -
As a
child, Kara Reyne is aware of having the memories of someone else – a man. As
she grows she becomes aware that she has a special power and she meets a group
of others, people who are outlawed, who also have banned powers. It’s her
destiny to bring Universal Matter to the world. Her earlier incarnation, Ethan
King, found it but it’s now hidden. It will bring down those who have an
economic strangle-hold on a failing and increasingly brutal world. People are
falling prey to lung and breathing problems and anyone exhibiting supernatural
powers in public is put in a detention camp and left to rot. This has a huge
impact upon Kara’s own childhood.
This
is a story full of action, of good people and bad people who are not always all
they seem. Kara is a classic case of someone who has destiny thrust upon her. I
really enjoyed the scenes of people using their powers. It’s not easy to
describe someone bending the laws of nature yet the author did this superbly in
The Destiny of Ethan King too. Martin Cosgrove’s writing can take you to places
as different as run-down inner cities and beautiful, unspoilt woodland. The
characters are well drawn and three dimensional and I enjoyed and became really
wrapped up in the story. A jolly good read.
