Have to say, I am\u00c2\u00a0very<\/span>\u00c2\u00a0happy with my\u00c2\u00a0purchase!<\/p>\n

Brilliantly\u00c2\u00a0suspenseful\u00c2\u00a0(though part of the\u00c2\u00a0suspense\u00c2\u00a0could be attributed to frequent interruptions while reading), I was on the edge of my seat throughout. I’ve been looking for some good, action SciFi recently and\u00c2\u00a0Sunshine<\/em> was thee<\/strong> perfect story to break my fast.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kyung is not a soldier, she just develops and tests their equipment, but an environment test she volunteered for is turning out to be more than she\u00c2\u00a0bargained\u00c2\u00a0for. The\u00c2\u00a0decision\u00c2\u00a0to track down a dog-like creature has kept Kyung two days longer than planned and her curiosity might just be the death of her. Experimental secrets cannot be contained; especially when they’re alive.<\/em><\/p>\n

It wasn’t until I finished his gripping short that I found out\u00c2\u00a0Sunshine<\/em> is set in the same world as The Subterrene Wars: a trilogy set on future earth. Not having set eyes on McCarthy’s world before, I felt\u00c2\u00a0immediately\u00c2\u00a0at home. This was a great introduction, even if it was set mid-storyline, and I’m seriously edging towards picking up a copy of\u00c2\u00a0Germline<\/em>; Subterrene Wars Book One.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>:\u00c2\u00a0Sunshine<\/em> does contain swearing, but I, personally, felt that it was all in good taste and aided the story rather than took away from it. Your preferences are your own, just a heads-up for my readers who would want to know.<\/p>\n
