Fast-paced with plenty of action, I love this book and am looking forward to more in this series. I was hooked immediately from the start wanting to know what happens to Frankie and whether Caldwell is trustworthy. This is beautifully written with an awesome cast of characters. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

If you follow my reviews you know that I love paranormal romance and lusty sexy reads. I’m not much of a sci-fi or alien reader i can name on one hand how many I’ve read and enjoyed,but when I saw A.D. Wayne had a new sci-fi book out I was curious. I’ve read her vlad the impaler book Mrs. Blackwood and a couple of her other reads and loved them,so I decided to gave this a try…. Outstanding book!!! The heroine Frankie is a strong character who battles major aniexy,ptsd and phobias, to some she may seem flawed but this is what makes this kick ass chic is so unique!!! She has the heart of a true warrior !!! And theirs nothing I love more then a strong woman!! A.D. Wayne’s writing flows from page to page. You can always tell a writer that has done research for her book it shows. Their are many awesome and complexed back up characters with some unforgettable villians like the Rakes a species that loves eating humans( and not in a good way) while their still alive their a delicacy to them!! Also the mysterious and sexy Captain Jason Namito Caldwell, I’m with frankie, I wanted him too. But don’t be fooled, the star of the book is frankie I friggin adore her!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves sci-fi and kick ass heriones!! Aliens just got a whole more interesting! Until next time luv’s
A.D. Wayne’s Frankenstein is not about a human brought back to life with pegs in his neck. No, this is about a woman named Frank N. Stein—Frankie for short. She was born in the 21st century but is brought to the future because she has special abilities that can help sway a war between species. She’s brought onto a spaceship because that’s where the battle is. She is a hot commodity everyone wants to get their hands on because she has the power to sway who can win the war. Between the edge of your seat battles, the who can she trust questions, and the sexual tension, I really enjoyed this story.
If you like sci-fi, suspense, mystery and a bit of romance, you’ll really love this book.
Woah, did I miss something? Is there a prequel to this book?
Starting FRANKENSTEIN by A.D. Wayne, those were my first thoughts, but they were wrong.
I have to admit, it made me struggle with the storyline at first. It felt like getting thrown into a pool of cold water, with no way of knowing which direction to swim to reach the surface.
This book just skips the foreplay and dumps you right into the action – and it never stops until you turn the last page. The beginning reminded me of an action-packed teaser in a movie, meant to grip the audience before the opening titles. It worked. I was hooked!
In the next chapter, you learn a bit more about the protagonist. A human woman from the 21th century who calls herself Frank N. Stein. She belongs to the crew of the “Slicer”, a spaceship able to traverse time and space, with a crew of humans and aliens from various timelines.
In the year 2510, the crew of “Slicer” struggles to restore a drastically altered timeline, and Frank N. Stein, or Frankie, is the key to success. Or at least, that’s what everyone hopes, because the needed special gene she carries is dormant.
The twists and turns that follow take you on a rollercoaster ride into a world of intrigue and deception.
–> Is “Slicer’s” mysterious Captain Caldwell really who he pretends to be?
–> Of The Alliance, The Dome, The Rake, who is the real enemy, and who is a friend?
–> Even the ship itself is not what it appears to be.
Will Frankie manage to figure all those things out in time to save the ship, the crew and the Captain from certain death, while struggling with her own transformation as the gene slowly begins to awaken?
A gripping tale that will keep you glued to the pages until the very end, with a cliffhanger that makes you scream and shout – and buy the next book…
A brilliant character-driven space adventure, welded with suspense, mystery and enough romance to appeal to all sorts of readers, but there is more to this story then amaizing characters and kickass action. There is an underlying message for those who have ears to hear it.
If you wonder what I am talking about go, grab a copy, and get reading.
So, it’s books like this one that really make me enjoy the sci-fi general as a whole.
In Frankenstein, we’re introduced to a young woman named Frank N. Stein who has been pulled from her life on Earth to help with a war in space because of a special mutation she has. She can decide the fate of the entire war, and because of that, many people want to get their hands on her. Navigating through life in the clutches of battle shows her exactly who she can trust and who’s out for her blood.
There are lots of on the edge of your seat moments throughout this entire book. I love the way the author seamlessly blended so many genres into this adventure: sci-fi, romance, adventure, and suspense. It seems there’s just about something for everyone to love in the pages of this book.
Also, the way that the characters are created is spellbinding. Frankie in particular was a favorite of mine because from the beginning we’re made aware of the fact that she’s not perfect. She has her flaws, plenty of flaws, but that doesn’t stop her from being a badass warrior.
Perfect read for fans of Star Trek and the like. Or just fans of sci-fi in general.
You won’t be disappointed.
