The Evolved By Simon Jenner
The Evolved is Simon Jenner’s latest book and his first away from the brilliant Ethan Justice series of thrillers. The Evolved is his stab at the Sci-fi / supernatural genre which is an increasing popular genre especially with the likes of The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner & Divergent novels that have been turned into Movies as of late.
Set in the near future in the English town of Grimston Max Anderson is a 17 year boy who suffers from anxiety more so than his class mates, he is also the target of the school bully Denton who see’s his obvious weakness and prays on this for his own enjoyment. The UK is a changing State as war breaks out in the new world superpower Europia that was once mainland Europe which was formed after the UK pulled out, the UK is struggling as an independent country amid the government’s strict controls over education, unemployment. Max has been taking a mysterious pill that his mother calls his vitamins for the last 7 years since he took an unexpected turn. Max hasn’t always been a loner though his best friend Connor Winchester has always lookout for Max, which Max never minded as he’s harboured a secret crush on Connor’s sister Emma for as long as he can remember but Max has never found guts to tell his best friend then one day Max’s life changes for ever when he discovers that his last 7 years was all a lie.
Connor and Emma finally step in and help Max giving him a pill that helps him rediscover his Zing that he lost 7 years earlier when he had an episode in school and Max soon learns that everything he thought he knew about his last 7 years isn’t true in fact Max Is part of a secret group of beings that have existed for over 200 years in secret, A species of people that have evolved powers that allow them to manipulate people and there minds. Connor and Emma have ulterior motives though, they need Max to help the rescue Jane one of Emma’s friends sister who has gone missing and Connor and Emma suspect that Jane has been “mind nudged” a form of hypnotism that only the Evolved know how to perform and its not allowed to be performed outside of there training centre.
Max and the Winchester’s discover a plot that runs right through the war torn country that exposes a high level government official who is a dangerous front for someone else another Evolved human named Sorros who has big plans for the future and Max is part of these evil plans.
The Evolved is a totally unique and refreshing story concept, its one of those books that you really find it hard to put down for any real length of time. The author has created Max as one of those lovable heroes who you just can’t help feeling sympathy for. Simon Jenner is a truly versatile author whose writing style is easily becoming better with each book he writes and hopefully long may he continue to publish fantastic novels. I look forward to the next in this series.
