Variant
Fast paced with the kind of ending that makes me glad the sequel is right around the corner, VARIANT is a great great read. Benson, the hero, has the right combination of brains and charm to carry the storyline through its twists and turns. Wells does a great job balancing the temptations of the Academy lifestyle being offered with Benson's skepticism and almost too selfish desire for escape. The moral repercussions of this book will certainly carry over and complicated Benson Fishers's journey.
