The new kid on the block.

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2015

After reading a co-workers copy I decided this was one of those unique books that deserved a spot on my shelf.

Kevin is the new kid on the block in terms of published works. With Future Winds, he showed up to the first day of school, found the biggest, meanest kid in his class, and punched him right in the face.

The attention to detail throughout this book is phenomenal and the characters, particularly the Vai-Zik, are so damn original and cool!

The story telling through the eyes of so many characters really helps to give you a different perspective on what you may think is right and what you may think is wrong.

There is a good amount of action, but unlike most action filled books, the down time in this one still grabs hold of your attention. There is always something to think about with every paragraph.

Future Winds is a dark, eye opening experience that every human should read at least once in their life. 5 Stars

Not For me

Turned out not to be the type of story I’m really into. Very gory & depressing but imaginative & interesting in it’s own way.

I just finished future winds in only 3 days time. Today I had a snow storm pass through my town and I had the opportunity to really sit and digest the second half of this book.

From beginning to the end the author Kevin Laymon weaves a beautiful but dark story, spanning many races, generations, and controversial issues while staying modern and relevant.

I can't imagine owning the mind of a genius. But I'm pretty sure I just had a glimpse inside of one for a brief moment.

This is a must read in the scifi genre. Or really any genre for that matter.

Very different from the average sci-fi and a fun read. I wish there were a sequel.

Awesome book!

Future Winds was a gripping novel from start to finish. Laymon's raw style painted vivid imagery of a developing world on a distant planet. Every character was unique & exciting to follow - I highly recommend Future Winds if you're a fan of science fiction, action, or adventure type novels.

Review also on Dannimae.com

Normally, I’ll start writing a review immediately after I finish a book. I’ll brainstorm the points I want to make, and my overall thoughts. But with Future Winds.. after finishing I felt nothing but shock. Let me tell you, this book has one hell of an ending. Like Girl with all the Gifts style, but better. I wasn’t at all expecting what was going to happen, and it was like a cherry on a piece of sci-fi-pie. (Is that cheesy? It’s totally cheesy. I’m leaving it in there anyway.)

As for the rest of the book, I was enamored. The characters alone had me hooked. Not only are they all incredibly diverse- from personality to ethnicity- they are all so unique. This was a multi-viewpoint book, and normally with those you have your “main character” and everything else is just flavor text. Not with Future Winds. Each character was so well written with their dynamics and their separate conflicts that Laymon could have written a story about any one of their perspectives, and it would still be interesting. My favorite character was Aries, an artificial intelligence drone. I loved the line between human and robot presented by this book, especially during one particular part that I’m not going to spoil, but that scene alone made me want a sequel. But to piece all of the viewpoints together gave so many perfect views of a world that is corrupt to the core, and seeing this from all these different eyes and angles creates a world that is completely three-dimensional.

And that’s another thing! The world! It was so well written that I feel like I could easily draw every aspect of it. Everything was meticulously described, so it’s easy to imagine the kind of strange world the characters are entering, but it’s not detailed to the point of tediousness *cough* Ayn Rand *cough*. Nothing important was left to the imagination, and I think that maybe that’s why, days after reading it, I’m still constantly picturing this world and the characters in it. (Not that it’s at all a pleasant picture.)

It is dark. There are a lot of gorey, nasty moments, but what’s really dark about the book is the overall tone. Laymon, through his novel, makes a commentary on government power, big corporations, and the darkness of the human nature. Reading it, I felt constantly trapped and anxious, and there were parts that made me gasp out loud even though no one else was in the room with me. (If anyone else has read this, message me. I need to talk about what happened to Lucas with somebody.)

But it wasn’t all perfect! Things I didn’t like:

Good God it’s not for children! Which isn’t really a flaw.. I just wasn’t prepared for the amount of gore I was getting myself into.
I’m wishing the Overlords were elaborated on. Maybe there will be a sequel? *Crossing fingers*
Everybody swears! Even, like, the stone-cold officials, which seemed out of place. But I think this was supposed to be a way of showing the unraveling of society.

Future Winds just leaves so much to think about, particularly with the symbolism presented by the Overlords in the book, I definitely want a sequel! I feel like there was one chapter in the book that could have been an entire novel in and of itself, and I’d love to see the author elaborating on the world he’s created. This is a book for people that like to delve into the deeper meaning of things, that want to have an intellectual conversation about symbolism and secrets. If it didn’t have so much blood and cussing I’d recommend it for an English class. But if you’re not into that, it’s good at surface value, too.

Overall, I loved Future Winds. It was brilliant in its realistic characters, inventive scenery, and underlying message. This debut shows an author with so much potential, and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!
