Kitty Boyes "Her Mother's Sins"

"When you mix artificial intelligence, with a human being's brilliant ideas, greed and a need to control and conquer you end up with something unstoppable. Something so grotesque, so violent and destructive it's beyond human control. But in steps an unlikely band of people, brought together through the apocalypse who gather strength and try to figure out this virus while trying to stay alive. An action packed, nail biting, page turning drama, peppered with wit, humour and hold-your-breath moments."

Todd Downing "Airship Daedalus Books 1-6" The premise of LOOP is exceptional, original, and beyond captivating! I loved the many themes and elements explored throughout the book, and all themes are explored by William Kely McClung wonderfully, and he does this by lacing these interesting themes throughout the text flawlessly and weaving them with the story. The result of this makes LOOP a highly addictive and fascinating read that is never once lackluster or predictable. McClung is a phenomenal writer who knows how to grasp his reader's attention from the first page. The Author thrusts his reader into the heart of the story straight away so that the reader is instantly captivated and immersed. I personally love this approach, what is the point of having a long build-up with little excitement? This is only necessary if the author in question can't develop the characters in the story quickly, but with LOOP, the reader will not encounter this issue because McClung instantly develops his characters and makes the reader invest in not only them but also their journey! To conclude my thoughts on the wonderful book LOOP, I would say LOOP is a wonderful, compelling, and thought-provoking novel that will easily entertain readers for many days and nights and so I, of course, have to award this stellar gem of a book five stars!

"Part sci-fi/horror yarn, part zombie/pandemic/survival epic, William Kely McClung's debut novel LOOP is a look at a dystopian world through the lenses of artificial intelligence, social media, super-viruses, and conspiracy theories. Populated by some well-designed, compelling characters, and written in a cinematic style reminiscent of classic William Gibson and John Steakley, LOOP is an entertaining, action-packed adventure - yet simultaneously a chilling omen of the world at our doorstep."
