A teenage sociopath with a love for mathematics and precision, Horatio is set to act once and for ever against the main source of his latest problems. While suspended from school, he has plenty of time to plot a sweet revenge, that he is planning with the same fine precision he is using for solving complex mathematical questions.
Emergence by author Guy Portman is the fourth book in the Necropolis series. I may confess that I haven´t read any of the previous books from the series, but I didn´t feel too lost while reading it. I am definitely interested to find out more about the characters and the topics featured, anyway, and hopefully will be able to continue with the rest of the series soon.
The psychological aspects of the book, reflected through the characters, are really entincing. It´s like we are offered a short trip into the darkest rooms of the human mind. The audience addressed is both young adult reader and more adult reader. But what it really matters is the story and the way in which it is built. From this point of view, the book has an universal take, while sharing a dark, humorous story.
