Surface: Future Machine Vol. 3

Volume 3 of the Future Machine series. A rescue mission begins, sending the Insurrection on a perilous mission to the moon looking for answers. New discoveries about The Corporation as well as an imminent meteor strike near the base alter their plans to save Draki, locate Zuri and Maakah, and destroy Kingsley once and for all. Find out what's under the surface in the exciting finale of the Future Machine series. Review: "What I have thoroughly enjoyed about Johan Michaels Dystopian Trilogy is that each entry has taken a decidedly different approach in the style and feel of the story.
Future Machine with its urban cyberpunk to Warpaint which I could best describe as Sergio Leone Steampunk Western. And now Michaels goes even further by removing his characters completely from the Earth and setting the action on the moon. Former monks Frederick, Jiro and Gregory along with Insurrectionist leader Thought return on both a rescue mission and hoping to take down the Corporation once and for all.
Frederick hopes to rescue the young boy he befriended while imprisoned by the ruthless Jaebez. As well as Zuri. But as they say, the best laid plans of mice and men. The group finds all is far from tranquil on the Corporations proposed city on the moon. And all is not what it seems. Story aside, what I think is the strongest point of Michaels writing is his characters. Jiro is my particular favorite bringing to mind a cross between John Rhys-Davies and Brian Blessed's Vultan from Flash Gordon.
I feel like many sci-fi and fantasy writers seem to get stuck in one world and realm for their characters to inhabit. What is refreshing about Michaels writing is much like the first two parts in the series, he's not afraid to completely change the feel of the storytelling. And Surface is no different. If you haven't had the chance, please check our Future Machine and Warpaint before reading this book.
Trust me. It's worth the journey!!"
