The Phantom of the Earth Omnibus Edition by Raeden Zen

The Phantom of the Earth Omnibus Edition includes 5 books which are The Song of the Jubilee, The Gambit with Perfection, The Synthesis and the Animus, The Descent into the Maelstrom, and The Restoration of Flaws. I must say that this series is a longer read, but it is definitely worth it in the end. 

The two main stories follow Johann and Broden. Broken is desperately trying to find a cure to the virus that has overtaken Earth, therefore leaving the land uninhabitable forcing all humans to live underground. Now, Johann is trying his best to lead the rebels within the underground political structure after realizing the society is spiraling into a depression.

The story is incredibly accurate and it is obvious that there was  a ton of attention to detail as far as humans having to live underground. The author made this a thing that would be obtainable. Another great aspect of the books is the “Marston’s Database.” This database allows the reader to gain information about different characters throughout the book as well as maps to keep the reader aware of where everything is taking place. 

Overall, “The Phantom of the Earth” series is a great read, but takes a lot of dedication. As stated earlier, even though it is a long read, it is worth it in the end. This is definitely a book for a sic-fi lover as well. If you are not interested in theory or science, this series might be a struggle. 

Overall, I rate this series with four notes!
