Chapters shift between the first person POV's of key characters and are presented in a non-linear fashion in order to create a mounting suspense that will keep the reader riveted until the end. Various plot twists occur within the story, and the different character viewpoints help alter the tone as you go along to give an unbiased presentation of their motives and actions. The setting allows a diverse cast of characters, some human, many not, to send a message that intelligence is a power that we take for granted, and when given to other species, the world becomes a dangerous place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Halfkinds Series\u003cbr\u003eHalfkinds Volume 1: Contact (Available Now)\u003cbr\u003eHalfkinds Volume 2: Horus (Available Now)\u003cbr\u003eHalfkinds Volume 3: Alphas (Available Now)\u003cbr\u003eHalfkinds Volume 4: North - Coming 2014\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDidn't read the previous volumes or just need to get some info?\u003cbr\u003eFor summaries, character descriptions, and other fun facts about The Halfkind Series check out:\u003cbr\u003ehalfkinds.wikia.com\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Vu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173835292912,"sku":"2940045442404","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045442404_p0.jpg?v=1763680230","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045442404","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
