“Code of Reanimation” by Lanie Mores

February 2, 2024

“Code of Reanimation: A Father of Contention Spin-Off” is a fast-paced and very good science fiction/horror read that starts out with a huge bang and does not slow down. While the book is a spin-off from Lanie Mores’ The Father of Contention series, it is one that can be a stand-alone story for those out there (like myself) who have not yet read the first story. I appreciated that as, normally, there is little way to understand what is going on if you have not been a part of the beginning. … More “Code of Reanimation” by Lanie Mores
