Sons of Man by Phillip Lawrence – ARC Review
They engineered the future. He weaponized the past.
Phillip Lawrence’s Sons of Man is a gripping dystopian thriller that dives into genetic engineering, rebellion, and the fragile line between humanity and control. This ARC was shared via Love Book Tours, and here’s my honest review.
Plot & Setting
Fifteen years after the rise of the Newborn Initiative, society has been reshaped. The regime seeks to erase “Oldborns” by replacing them with genetically engineered humans. At its center is Brue Carnell, orchestrating humanity’s redesign with ruthless precision.
In the Appalachian wilderness, Daniel — once a loving father, now a hardened fighter — leads guerrilla-style resistance against the Newborn Operatives. Haunted by personal loss, his world is upended when his daughter Maggie returns from the underground resistance, sparking a confrontation that could shatter both sides.
What Worked for Me
- Fast-paced storytelling that balances action with emotion.
- Complex characters, especially Daniel’s transformation and Maggie’s re-entry.
- Strong themes of freedom vs. control, survival, and identity.
- Atmospheric setting in the Appalachian backdrop that intensifies the tension.
Final Thoughts
Sons of Man is more than a dystopian thriller — it’s a story about redemption, family, and what it means to stay human in the face of engineered power. With sharp action and heart, Phillip Lawrence delivers a narrative that will linger with readers long after the last page.
⭐ Rating: 4.5/5
