The Roar by Emma Clayton
The blurb: Post apocalyptic distopia, "mutant" psychics, Etc. Etc.
What it starts to look like: Enders Game/Neon Genesis Evangelion meets Carrie,
then edited until it looks PG(read: no aliens), if still depressing.
Plot Holes: Yes.
To name but a few:
- No space colonies(despite the bad guy having a space station)
- No underwater colonies
- The twin in the beginning not leaving anything identifying during her escape and capture(she has telekinesis for crying out loud)
- None of the "mutant" kids pulling a Carrie(except one, and he gets stopped by a glance)
- Convincing via television hoax * nearly two thirds of the planet to evacuate to the remaining third.
Execution: Terrible, 1.9 stars, not as bad as it could have been, but there are better uses of my time.
*Spoiler, highlight to show.
