The Lasso Unravels: When All Hell Breaks Loose is a work of fiction in the fantasy, dystopia, and action genres, and is part of the Optical Lasso series. The work is best suited to mature teen and adult readers owing to some scenes of graphic violence and mild sexual references. Penned by author Marc Corwin, this story takes readers to a post-apocalyptic Earth in 2140 CE, where survivors hide underground after a devastating attack. Frane Paxton, the planet's religious leader, telepathically signals the Galactic Corps destroyer, Indiana, for help. Captain Gregory Knight sends Lieutenant Janet ‘Cat’ Miles to assess the situation, but her inner demons threaten her mission. Meanwhile, distant galaxies face a mysterious threat, inching closer to Earth. As tensions rise and the universe frays at its edges, the missing Supreme Commander, Jason Cody, leaves questions unanswered. Can the optical lasso stop the impending destruction?
Author Marc Corwin uses vivid imagination and skillful storytelling to craft an exhilarating plunge into a futuristic world teetering on the brink of chaos. The vibrant and descriptive prose captivated me from the first page, immersing me in a world of suspense and intrigue that was cunningly built and filled with attitude and detail. The characters, including my particular favorites, Cat and Jason, were compelling and multi-dimensional. Their internal struggles are shown in subtle ways through clever dialogue and well-penned descriptions of their actions and reactions to certain situations. The escalating threat posed by the mysterious adversary kept me on the edge of my seat, and the pace of this looming disaster was exciting and well thought out. Corwin has real confidence in weaving together elements of science fiction and fantasy, but never in the traditional ways, always looking for surprises and unique angles to approach the adventure. The result is a thrilling and thought-provoking tale that explores themes of survival, sacrifice, and the fortitude of heroes tested to their limits. Overall, The Lasso Unravels: When All Hell Breaks Loose is a gripping addition to the series, leaving me eagerly awaiting the next installment in this captivating saga.
