Description

World peace can be deadly.

Humans discover alien technology and start colonizing worlds outside the solar system. Genetic modification produces miracles. Science advances the human condition. And, for the first time in history, the nations of the world have achieved real peace with each other.

But only the elite truly benefit from all the advancements. Most people are still trapped on an Earth ruined by chemical pollution, nuclear accidents, and chaotic weather changes. Rebellious "genies"--genetically engineered servants--cause more harm than good. And global corporations have stripped the idea of nations and freedom of any real meaning.

Sergeant Jack Rimes is no stranger to intrigue. The U.S. Army Special Forces operator lives in a time where every nation on Earth is at peace… but there are plenty of secrets to go around. As corporate greed threatens humanity, genetically engineered humans are making international mayhem of their own.

After his unplanned reassignment to the Intelligence Bureau, Jack is tasked with tracking down a rogue agent implicated in a political assassination. As he and his new partner, an old flame, search the globe for answers, the truth shakes him to his core. The powers-that-be may not be very interested in keeping humanity alive…

Momentary Stasis is the first book in a provocative series of grimdark military sci-fi novels full of intrigue, horror, and action that unflinchingly explores the impact of technology and unbridled greed on humanity. If you like gritty, flawed protagonists, tech-heavy thrillers, and incredible new worlds, then you'll love the first installment from PR Adams' provocative new series.

    When I picked this up as a freebie off iBooks in one of their deals, I didn't have much in the way of expectations. Too many authors of this genre have disappointed me with their lack of scientific or even military knowledge and with flat, cardboard cutout characters as well. As such, this novel is a welcome surprise with not only a well-developed protagonist with depth and human foibles but a multifaceted plot line as well that has great pacing (so many have such transparent characters and plots that the entire book descends into the mundane). It was hard to put down once I started reading and few books do that for me. I have high hopes that P. R. Adams will take over the mantle of the military SF greats such as David Drake (particularly in his “Hammer’s Slammers” universe), et al.

    This book opens like a million other weak military SF novels, but it really takes off. Character development is adequate to support the story, but the story... man, can this guy plot. Intricate and convoluted, but it all hangs together. Great read. I’m reading his next book asap.

    Anticipation builds slowly, keeping you enticed and suddenly you can't stop reading even though you know you have to go sleep, but you dream about it and after waking you look forward to being able to read more. Twists and turns and abruptly all is revealed and you feel satisfied. This book didn't disappoint.

  • Satisfying hard sci-fi.

    I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick paced page turner that causes you to take a real interest in the characters set in a nitty gritty near future.

    Wooden plot, wooden characters, wooden dialogue. Of course, it could have gotten better after the first ten percent but that would have taken a miracle.

  • HooWah!

    From an Airborne Ranger vet, this was a great read. Some little sections merged into trivia, but not enough to not call it a good short book.

    A fast moving novel about a Commando unit involved in intrigue and deception, but led by an honorable man. Set in 2165, the world has become a dark and dangerous place, especially when "genies" turn rogue with their alien DNA insertion. A superb read!
