Weak beginning, strong ending. That is how I would describe Harken in a nut shell. Of course as usual if you don't want me to spoil this book for you, there may be spoilers.Harken is about teenager, Michael Asher. Michael is known as the 'Eye Guy' because of his unique ability to read people's emotions, giving him an insight into people's thoughts. In this world, all of Earth is controlled by lizard like creatures, known as Guardians, who take on forms of humans. They control everything: from the news, to the police, even to the weather. They Earth on lockdown without the humans knowing. Michael finds himself caught up in this world and discovers that he is actually one of them. He is a Guardian.
The plot was what really intrigued me. I am a sucker for conspiracy theories and Kaleb Nation is a master at self promotion, so he intrigued me from the start. I've followed Kaleb's progress on the book on his youtube page for nearly the whole time he was writing it and none of us 'Nationeers' (as us fans of Kaleb Nation are called) knew what the name of it was... it was called #thesecretkalebbook (yes complete with the hashtag). The history around the book was a complete mystery to us. Kaleb self promoted his book through word of mouth via social network sites. We were all excited about the book. Which is why I really, really wanted to like the book.
