The Amplifier Protocol (Amplifier Series - Book 0) Kindle Edition

by Meghan Ciana Doidge (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,242 ratings
They called me an amplifier. And they had bred me, raised me, and trained me to be a killer with preternatural precision. I was capable of taking, holding, and transferring power that wasn’t my own with a simple touch. Skin-to-skin contact. Along with four others of my generation, I could infiltrate any magical organization, extracting whoever or whatever I’d been ordered to extricate. Then I could destroy all evidence of our passing presence.
They had made me. They directed me. Controlled me.
Then they tried to kill me.
-----------------

    This moderately short story provides a powerful introduction to the The Five. The story is packed with action and character development. The world view develops along with the story.

    The protagonists are troubled and interesting. You grow invested in their future and their attempts to find out who they are and to gain their freedom.

    I look forward to the rest of the series.

    3.0 out of 5 stars More army/police feel than I wanted in my paranormal
    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2020

    This is a pretty big departure from my much happier, snarkier characters from the Dowser universe. As a set up, I hope we get somewhere... else when the series begins "for real."

    We start this journey (which includes book 0 and short story 0.5) with a bunch of no-name, genetically engineered adepts who are essentially different strike teams. While the teams are made up of some "regular" adepts, there is a group of "special" ones that are generally just weapons. Things go bad (as they often do) and the order of things gets... blown up. Pretty literally.

    I found it kind of hard to identify with any of the characters in the first story (book 0). While book 0.5 gave them a little more humanity, I think I'm going to take a breather between this and book 1. Book 0.5 had a bit more of a murder mystery feel. There's adepts plus the super duper ones and they are forced to navigate the mundane world where I'm slightly more comfortable. I liked the end result, but I really did not like Emma. We'll see where she heads in future installments, because I am absolutely allergic to quitting a series.

    I have enjoyed the entire Dowser Universe, and the individual stories about the characters in the universe. This is the story of one such character, and I have to say getting their whole story makes the character more relate able and complete. This was a perfect intro novellete to the upcoming full length novel about our amplifier, it explains so well where the characters came from and how they became who they are. If you like the dowser series you will love the amplifier books. And of course I do!

    I'm surprised by how much I loved this story. I read one other book by this author and really didn't like it. I didn't have high hopes for this second try of same author. But I ended up loving this story. I loved how strong the fmc is. I love the relationship btn the fmc and Christopher. I love the relationship of the five and their experiences in an intense battls. And the way we could easily measure the growth of the fmc via a time passed plot device. Loved. Definitely won't hesitate to read this author again.
