I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you TCK Publishing.

Similar to young adult dystopias such as The Hunger Games, The 5th Wave, The Maze Runner and Divergent, what makes Kill Code unique is that it, firstly, deals with more mature themes. Fleury's futuristic world is full of conspiracies and injustice, set against a backdrop of a failed economy and the rise of unemployment, which feels very realistic. It's more about human nature and a society gone wrong than anything too speculative, but it is still a quick-paced and entertaining read with a protagonist who stands up for what's right.

Secondly, the book has a more masculine feel to it, led by a male adult who fights for the nation's security regiment. There is a lot of action which wasn't really for me, but the scenes were still described well and I enjoyed the use of futuristic technologies and scientific advances to add a few original twists and developments.

Fleury does a good job of describing his dystopian world up, although I would have liked a little more detail in the set up about how the world came to be in this state, but it's when Hogan joins the National Security Council that the story gets really exciting.

You can tell that Fleury is an award-winning author and screenwriter because I could picture every scene vividly. Hogan is also a great character to follow. He's tough and determined, but he's always got his head on straight which is exactly who you need to lead a dystopian action series.

Personally, this story is a little too action-heavy for me, but it's definitely a book that I would recommend for those who like dystopias and a bit of gritty action.
