In a ruined and desolate land, a young woman finds herself stranded and alone, with no memory of her past and only a single clue to her identity: an engagement ring with the inscription, 'Cybil'. Even if she can navigate the hostile realm of homicidal, hybridised beasts, what hope does she have of ever finding home? An encounter with some unlikely allies, offers her a chance of survival. But will the 'smash and grab' tactics of the continent's most notorious smuggling crew be enough to see her through this dystopian nightmare? They quickly find themselves caught up in the intensifying discord between the fascist City States and the anarchic Outlands. Cybil's unyielding desire to find her lost love must take a back seat to the bonds of friendship, as her unfailing sense of loyalty draws her into a conspiracy that threatens to tear civilization apart. Can a handful of misfit rebels thwart the most powerful entity on the continent and change the course of history...? "A well conceived story, with a furious pace and a half-dozen twists that completely blindside you."

I purchased Steel Wind Rising when I was notified by an old friend who I had not spoken to in a while that he had just written a book. I remember Scott's intelligence and creativity well, and was keen to see what he would come up with. I was immediately put off by the cover and title, and realised I may have just purchased something I would never read. While sitting in an airport lounge, waiting for a flight, I decided to indulge my beloved iPad in a bit of love. I was a bit unsure of whether to read any further after the first few pages, where, via detailed descriptions, a few characters were knocked off too fast to form any attachment to them. However, once the main characters started to develop, I was quite drawn in. The story centres on a young woman who wakes up in a future world, having no memories of the past. She demonstrates incredible strength and fighting prowess, and is rescued from a dangerous situation by a group of outlaws. While trying to get back to a city they believe she hails from, they encounter dangerous inhabitants of a world that is built on advanced human technologies and intellectual capabilities and runs on primitive instincts.
Scott uses vivid descriptions, a decent grip of biological and engineering knowledge and high paced but detailed action sequences to allow you to imagine a future dystopian world, building characters as he goes, and drawing a central thread in. For the non science fiction mind, he has included explanations and while some of the science he describes seems far fetched, I was continuously reminded of the time scale he was referring to in this world, and of the possibilities of a future world, which made the story seem all the more real and believable.
What I really enjoyed was the human element; the characters have something we can identify with, and because the humanity of the characters are central to the evolution of the story, it becomes a story that is difficult to put down, and Scott manages to keep the pace throughout the 340 pages.

5,0 su 5 stelle A great first novel
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 11 luglio 2013

Right from the beginning, this book is fast-paced, action-packed and exciting. The detailed descriptions of scenery, people and fight scenes enabled me to visualise clearly what was going on, as if it was a film running in my head. The main characters are likeable and interesting and I often found myself thinking about them when not actually reading. There were plenty of descriptions of how they were feeling, both emotionally and physically and I thought this gave them very human qualities that made them easy to identify with. The development of the relationships between the characters were believable and made the book all the more enjoyable to read.

The book was very well researched, and because of this, integrity was maintained throughout. Because most of the scence and technology the author describes in the book actually exists, even if only theoretically, it didn't feel far-fetched or unrealistic.

The numerous twists and turns in the plot made it a real page-turner and for me, it felt like the author had provided a puzzle and was in control of all the pieces, choosing to provide them at different points in the book. The overall picture wasn't at all obvious- I was kept guessing until the end.

Although of the sci-fi genre, there is something for everyone in this book-plenty of action and adventure, drama and romance.
I enjoyed reading this book and hope that the author doesn't make us wait too long for the sequel(s).

What a thrilling debut novel by Scott Meintjes, a South African author!

A woman wakes up not knowing who she is, where she is or how she got there. She wears an engagement band with the name Cybil inscribed in it. Does this mean she has someone waiting for her at home, wherever home is? She is rescued by a band of criminal misfits who take her in and try and help her navigate the desolate and dangerous Outlands. Isaac and his friends are smugglers of a different kind and they have their own dangerous mission. Will Cybil stay with them or take her own journey to discover who she is?

There is another storyline that for some reason intrigued me more than the main plot, and I wish there was more! This story is about Rob and Lucy and how they find something in each other that they never thought possible.

I really enjoyed Cybil as a main character, she was strong and brave and at times kick-ass. Andrew was probably my favorite character though - I found him funny and very intriguing (you will have to read why)! Then there is the band of misfits, all so different, unique and totally bad ass, especially when they fight the dangerous creatures that reside in the Outlands. The group dynamic between these men is very interesting, especially when you throw in a young headstrong woman into the mix.

The futuristic world is very well constructed and I had no problem believing the setting or the cool futuristic gadgets and machinery. The way the world was divided into these city states, with the "undesirables" outside, also made sense and I can imagine such a scenario happening.

The plot was really great and surprising, with a good pace that kept the story flowing. I can't wait to see what happens in the next novel and I recommend this book to any dystopian sci-fi lover.

I had never heard of scott meintjes but enjoyed the sample to this book so paid the pound for the full book. It was a very enjoyable read with more action than deep characters, but this is predominantly a sci-fi action so that is to be expected overall i liked it but it was not a classic

eeny meeny has really hit the review on the spot. I love how the author explored the technology, the blending of robotics, AI, gene-manipulation, setting the future scape and character development. And the blend of action and past-present flow to the final culmination are just terrific. I, too, can't wait for the next edition - bring on more of the Cybarium Chronicles!
