Kort biografi
He spent most of his youth in various foster homes in Texas until he was adopted and moved to Pennsylvania at age eight. He grew up watching B-movies on the sci-fi channel, and instead of watching Saturday cartoons like normal kids, he would watch various Star Trek shows on Spike TV with his dad. He later went on to earn an associate’s degree in network security and administration. He is an average guy with an at times over-active imagination. Once in a while, he jots down his thoughts, and sometimes a story may emerge.

I like the plot, the idea of genetically altering a scorpion, continuing to improve it and having it turn against humanity is quite satisfying in my opinion. This is a short read and I enjoyed it until it got to the short romance scene, which I thought was a bit cheesy and then it got cheesy from then on. I think that it has great potential, and it is a short read that teenagers might enjoy and get a kick out of!

If you are into 13 year old boy mentality or the cheesiest B movies then this might be a short story for you. The best thing that I can say about the piece is that it is a short story. The plot is worn out basic. The characters are not as deep as gaming characters. The dialogue is straight out of a pre-teen male fantasy.

This is a short YA sci-fi satire about a genetic scientist, Dr. Haylen Bennett, and colleague Dr. Li, who learn that the organic plated armor they helped develop has been used on a giant 10-foot scorpion that is running loose and out of control. The Department of Defense recruits them to help capture it before it reaches civilization, but when it kills Dr. Li, Haylen vows to take the creature down.

This book was fun, action-packed and engaging. I read it in one sitting; I just couldn't put it down. Honestly, it's so cheesy that it's gouda!!!

It has some cussing and innuendo, which I didn't really like, but it warns you about it in the blurb, so that won't effect my review at all. Five stars!
