This review is from: Lightning Play (Light Play Trilogy) (Paperback)

Richard Lockmann can generate enough nutrients from a light source to sustain himself, thereby providing the answer to world hunger. He also has the source of antibodies that ensure safety in the face of a possible worldwide plague. On the one hand, the Defensive Security Office (DOS) protects Rick's life. On the other hand, others determinedly fight to control the man worth more to research dead than alive.

A man who has always treasured his privacy and solitude, Rich grows sick of being under a microscope. He delights in playing games with his keepers, toying with them, causing trouble. Rick also finds it difficult to know whom he can trust. As events come to head, he realizes that he will have to use every gift his mutation provides if he is to ensure the destruction of Denaro's remains, and the end of the virus that transformed him.

Author ND Hansen-Hill completes the Light Plays trilogy with LIGHTNING PLAYS. A captivating, eerie, and addictive series, Light Plays grows stronger with each book, with LIGHTNING PLAYS providing a blockbuster finale. Readers will find it impossible to put down this sophisticated blend of science fiction, suspense and horror. With Hansen-Hill's typical cast of memorable and eccentric characters, the author spins a tale of horror and mystery that will delight both fans and initiates alike. Rick especially challenges any preconceptions of what it takes to be "human", proving his mutant blend might actually be the most humane of all. Fans will immediately recognize Hansen-Hill's brand of humor and satire, which nicely counterbalance the darker motifs which are also a signature of the author's work. Replete with various subplots and secondary characters, LIGHTNING PLAYS provides a powerful reading experience. Very highly recommended.
