Father of the Future by Darren Dash
"Darren Dash's New Book out now!!

I was fortunate to receive an advanced copy of Darren Dash's newest release, Father of the Future. Which is out today!

I rate this 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book takes place in the future... maybe you call it a dystopian future but that's for you to make your own opinions on.

In this future time travel exists and the main character; Cassique job is to fix the broken timeline by extracting the anomalies to his present.

Cassique finds himself lost when he's suddenly given a long holiday from work. Well he decides to borrow some very famous friends...

This book was so well thought out, with an answer to everything including how people of different languages could understand each other in the future. Dash thought of every detail for the new future so it could feel so different. But I also enjoyed the sly nods he to things in the past. Was not expecting Twilight to get a shout out 🤣

I think what took this book from a 3.5 rating to a 4 star rating was the ending. It was just so unexpected, I never would have guessed it to go that way. I was convinced because of how short the book was that there would be a book 2 because it couldn't finish in a short space but yet it did and so well.

I would recommend this book to anyone with some deep thoughts on the expansion of technology in the very distance future"

Father of the Future by Darren Dash
"Father , my only complaint about this book is it should have been longer 😂 so didn't want that ride through time to be over. Loved how he connected all the various tumelines it flowed smoothly . It's a great cautionary tale on how removing the imperfections strips away our humanity , also about the dangers of technology i do believe Bradbury himself would love this. He works in many modern day issues in such as technology, religion, politics but never in a way that feels even remotely preachy. Was entertaining from start to finish .Our hero is conflicted after all his world is ‘perfect� but the humanity has been stripped away from it. The ending completely surprised me, but that nothing new with Darren! He is a master of twists , and turns . This is like a roller coaster ride through tine. And were it hundreds of pages longer I would not have complained . Looking forward to Dash's/Shan's next work."
