Goodreads Synopsis:
Best-selling author, Kevin. J. Anderson (DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES, STAR WARS: TALES OF THE JEDI, STAR WARS: JEDI ACADEMY) and veteran screenwriter, Steven L. Sears (XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS, THE A-TEAM) team up with artist Mike Ratera, to bring you STALAG-X.

This DELUXE EDITION features an original prose piece by Anderson and Sears.

PUBLISHER' SYNOPSIS:
Joe Human―is taken to a harsh P.O.W. camp on a distant planet where he will be examined, tortured, and forced to endure experiments that rip into his very mind, as the alien Krael seek to answer the question: What is human? A question that, in their hellish situation, the prisoners are finding harder to answer.

My Review:
Everyone always says that the Krael don't take prisoners, but what they don't know is that they're making slave camps. Stalag-X used to be an Earth command base, but that was before the Krael took it over and modified it. There's a space war going on that's spanned seventeen planets and ten years in total. This book has an explosive start, and is super bloody with a lot of bright colours. I like the art style, and the cover really made me want to check it out the most. I didn't want to put it down, even when I was confused at what was actually happening. I'm stuck between giving this book a three and a four because of the confusing parts. The story bounces around a lot and it's sometimes hard to decipher what's really happening in the present tense.

The main character is a man who calls himself Joe Human, and he's really tough. He spends most of the book brutally murdering things. He's funny, though too. He's been experimented on, and seemingly he has zero secrets. This book is a crazy right and although it's all over the place, I felt good about reading it when I was done. Check it out if you get the chance and see what you think.
