Unlimited by Davis Bunn



Unlimited by Davis Bunn is a book based on a screenplay of a movie coming out this fall. This is one time that I'm sure I'll enjoy the movie more than the book. I don't fault the author for that because he only used what he had to work with. I didn't really enjoy this book. I figured out who the bad guy was very early on so that aspect was ruined for me.  The action was fast paced but there was so much technological mumbo-jumbo that I got confused and bewildered. I finished the book with little satisfaction in what I'd read. Maybe this was more of a man-read than a female one? Anyway, not my cup of tea.

From the back cover:
Simon Orwell is a brilliant student whose life has taken a series of wrong turns. At the point of giving up on his dreams, he gets a call from an old professor who has discovered a breakthrough in a device that would created unlimited energy. He needs Simon's helf. 
Upon crossing the border, nothing goes as the young man planned. The professor has been killed, and Simon is assaulted and nearly takne out by members of a powerful drug cartel. 
Now he must take refuge in the only place that will help him, a local orphanage. There, Simon meets Harold Finch, the orphanage proprietor who walked away from a lucrative career with NASA and consulting Fortune 500 companies to serve a higher cause.
With Harold's help, Simon sets out on a quest to uncover who killed the professor and why. In due time, he will discover secrets to both the world-changing device and his own unlimited potential.
