It's a science fantasy short story. The story is quite an interesting take on a world where humans are no longer in control. And an enhanced series of humans is responsible for various tasks. They're designed to carry out their tasks with utmost efficiency. They cannot feel or think for themselves, they do whatever they're modified to do...
Except Avendui 5ive and Virgil 9ine. They've broken out of their minds. They think for themselves, know that there is something very, very wrong in the world they're created for. Unfortunately, they've no idea what is actually going on or how to overcome it...
I loved it and I'm looking forward to read the up coming novel which will be set in the same amazing world.
I'd like to thank the author for a complimentary copy of this book. It's an amazing read.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

Avendui 5ive is a short story giving us an insight into the Jakkattu series that is to come soon.
I’m so glad I was able to advance read this. Excuse me whilst I brag, but I managed to get my hands on this and the first Jakkattu book well in advance of release, and I can assure you I’m more than excited for both of them. There is such promise, so much on offer. If you’re a science fiction fan, then you need to keep your eyes on this series – it looks to be going places.
As a teaser, Avendui 5ive is wonderful. It gives you some information about the world without giving away too much. You get a general grasp of what to expect from the world, and yet so much is left unknown. Specifically, the details in this book offer up information pertaining to biomechanically enhanced humans. We get a general idea of how their world works, and what happens to them when things do not play out as they are ordained.
Honestly, I could say so much, but I fear I will give spoilers. It’s such a short story and yet it manages to give so much. Whilst it wasn’t quite a full four stars – I wanted a bit more about the world outside of biomechanically enhanced humans, if I’m honest, but that’s just me wanting it all and I’m sure that will change once I start the first Jakkattu book – it was so close that to give it a three stars would have been an injustice. It really is a brilliant snippet into the world, something you can complete in no time at all, and it is more than capable of leaving you excited of what the series has to offer.
I cannot wait to see where the Jakkattu series takes us.
As a final note, I would like to thank P.K. Tyler for guaranteeing further excitement about the upcoming series through allowing me to advance read this short story.

This story is set in a desolate but very intriguing post-apocalyptic future with aliens and cyborgs. Don't expect a feel-good story with a tidy happy ending. However, the story is well-written and I really liked the characters. It's also a clean read, and I don't recall seeing any typos or other editing problems.
I generally prefer more upbeat stories, but I admit that after reading this, I found myself wanting to know more about this world, and I'm looking forward to reading more of the Jakkattu Saga. If you enjoy scifi in dark settings and don't mind the lack of happy ending, give this a try!
I volunteered to review an advanced reader copy of this book.
