Instead, Scott Hrdinsky and his uncle Joe live on the fringes of population as peaceful biofuel farmers until one day when their cyborg dog goes into permanent standby mode without warning. This one’s different the major crises (including extraterrestrial contact) have already come and gone decades previously. Stories concerning ‘survivalists’ and/or ‘preppers’ tend to follow two storylines in particular: either a societal breakdown has occurred and they’re left with the responsibility of maintaining what’s left of humanity, or they’ve gone rogue while waiting for said societal breakdown (or during it) and need to be stopped. Overall Footprints was a good read, and I will keep my eye out for any of John's feature work.

She was one character I wish we got more on. He's not your typical dog and I so would buy one if they existed! We also meet another character Neeba, who isn't of Earth and not too much was given on her. You have your typical teen, being raised by his Uncle, and then their pet dog. Anyway with Footprints the characters were good, but nothing spectacular. I'm the type to care for characters like they are real, and apart of my life, which in a way they are. I myself as a reader, am mostly attached to the characters of a story. I also wish the characters had a little more. One minute there off to find out what's wrong with the dog and then bam, a bunch of stuff happen (I hate giving to much detail in fear of spoilers), then bam mission over and book over. I do wish their could have been some more detail, it is a pretty quick read. I thought the plot was good and interesting enough. Autero was a satisfying story, of life lessons and leaving a 'footprint' in the world. *I received this book from the author for an honest review!įootprints by John A. So I didn't have many issues with the book and overall was a nice read from my usual genre. It did have twists and turns, and then it would slow and I would lose intrest for a bit and then it would be interesting again. I'm not the biggest person for Science type books, but somehow it was done just right and wasn't to a point where I got tired of sciencey and technical things going on. Well he did have Joe to help him get the hang of it all and not do something major crazy. He opened up quickly to the things going on around him and even though its hard to take it all in, Scott does.

Manson had hidden some big things and Scott did not take it so well. So the world hides things and we all know there is some kind of hidden secret out there.

I loved that they cared about the dog so much, and before they knew it, they went into an adventure they never thought of. So this is not my typical read, but it did entertain me! I liked the dog and the fact that Scott and Joe went to find a way to save Dozer right away.
