Erika Kehlet (21 KP) rated Walk in the Flesh in Books
Feb 21, 2018
In Walk in the Flesh, Neil, an ex-soldier on the brink of death, is given the chance to live on and exact revenge on the people who killed his wife in a terrorist attack. The British government will use nanotechnology to insert his consciousness into host bodies, allowing him to carry out covert missions undetected. Now, besides becoming a perfect killing machine, Neil has also become a monster. Or perhaps he was one all along
The story has a very scary premise and one that technology might not be too far away from making a possibility. There is no shortage of action in this thriller, and I was caught up in it right away. The story moves quickly, but it takes a while to really understand what is happening with Neil. Eventually the reader knows more about him than he does himself. The most suspenseful bits come near the end when he has a young woman travelling with him, and youre left guessing at his motivations.
There were a few editing issues. Once or twice I had to re-read a sentence due to a missing word, but the issues were infrequent or the story kept moving well enough for me not to notice too much.
If you enjoy military adventure novels, cyberpunk, or techno-thrillers, this one is worth a read.

This game genuinely looked like a hit, with its dark, gritty tone, detective based story & quick time scenarios but was quickly derailed due to only being able to play by downloading a companion app and using a portable device (providing your device was able too - fyi old fire tabs don't 😕)
Once you have it, you will be prompted to add you name & choose a colour? As you can have friends join in too, but still need to if it's just you?
The story is incredibly short, even shorter if you make a wrong choice or are too slow to move your device pointer to a specific moving target, which from a I can assure you, can become rather infuriating.
Answering a phone call or video call WILL disrupt your game and you will be sent back to start all over.....Including adding your name and colour again.
Aside from that- great casting, great story, great graphics and this would make and absolutely fantastic live action movie.

The cast in this are great. You can never fault Jamie Foxx or Joseph Gordon Levitt, and you definitely can’t in this. Dominique Fishback puts in a great turn too and even Rodrigo Santoro hams it up the best he can with the material he has to work with. And that’s the problem with this film, the material, plot and execution are not very good and letdown everything else. The idea behind this film, a pill that gives you superpowers is genius, and something we haven’t seen before in the superhero genre. The way they subtly show physical changes in the characters who have taken the pills on multiple occasions is very well done and the general concept and science behind the pills is pretty believable. Even the CGI is pretty well done and the reveal of Jamie Foxx’s character’s powers towards the end of the film is quite a spectacle. It’s just a massive shame that the plot itself is rather plodding and lacklustre and it’d be completely uninteresting if it wasn’t for the action and superpowers.
Overall this was a decent entertaining sci-fi and not a bad watch, it just could’ve been so much better.
