Broadly a sci-fi thriller, The Ultimate Reprieve by Daniel Romm will compel the readers to finish reading the book at one go. Romm fabricates suspense in the very first chapter of the book and weaves it to the many sub-themes that the book touches upon, as the story progresses. The plot has been carved to acquire depth, and the curiosity it breeds will haunt the readers till they reach the end—and maybe even beyond. However, the most captivating element of the book is that the future portrayed in the novel is not a far-fetched idea, but it is an insight into what the forthcoming centuries on planet Earth will hold for all of humanity.
