Praise for the 2055 Series

β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… This gives me Battle Angel Alita vibes…

β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… I love a strong female role, sci-fi and action. This fits the bill for all those.

β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… I did get some feeling of Hunger Games meets PRIMAL.

β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… …this one sucked me in from the beginning.

β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… This book started strong, kept me engaged during the entire read.

β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… β˜… Action-packed, beloved PRIMAL with a touch of sci-fi, what's not to love?

About the Author

Jack Silkstone grew up on a steady diet of Tom Clancy, James Bond, Jason Bourne, Commando comics, and the original first-person shooters, Wolfenstein and Doom. His background includes a career in military intelligence and special operations, working alongside some of the world's most elite units. His love of action-adventure stories, his military background, and his real-world experiences combined to inspire the no-holds-barred PRIMAL series. PRIMAL is a team of elite operatives, hell bent on fighting for the downtrodden and oppressed. A renegade agency waging a secret war against the untouchables; powerful criminals, greed driven corporations, and twisted politicians. With cutting-edge technology and tactics they strike across the globe with impunity, stepping in where governments fail.
