Rotville by Bryce Bentley Summers is about certain complex experiments being conducted on humans in a quarantine setup which acts as a prison, Colosseo, located in the city of Rotville. Though the people are quarantined due to a plague attack, worse times await them in the form of cutting edge experiments, both of an agent that can cause loss of rational thinking, and by the introduction of neural insemination implants that can insert memories of one's choice to any brain. The first victim selected for this experiment, Dylan, is being programmed in the role of a samurai and is expected to be a compliant specimen. However, everything does not fall neatly into place, certain unexpected developments occur, taking the experiment to rather unforeseen results.

Rotville by Bryce Bentley Summers is a gripping tale. I find it difficult to say which character is more appealing; the rebel gladiator Dylan, the competent scientist Dr Jun Sun, or the omnipotent Director of Colosseo, Dr Titus Maxim North, as well as many others who appeared in small but notable roles. The care that Dylan takes to keep himself and the child from the mutants’ harm, as well as the professional way the Colosseo Corporation management is depicted, are only some of the noteworthy parts of this thorough entertainer of a book. Both the insemination implants and the compound Regen seem to be too intuitive to be seen only as fictional ideas. This is a very good novel; excellent narration and a perfect plot are the high points of this page turner.
