The characters are believable and feel worthy of emotional investment, Carter in particular has an interesting backstory which guides his decision making process throughout the novel and Josey (John’s sister) is also a well imagined character the reader ends up rooting for. The plot is mostly tight and well paced, while the writing is gritty and delves into the motivations and emotional states of the characters with a subtle and nuanced touch. The Zelotyr invasion we learn, was only halted by the mysterious and enigmatic alien Barath’na and a ruling by the Zelo-Barath’na Galactic Council declaring humanity a sentient species.Īs the story unfolds rioting and civil unrest take hold in Belfast and Inish Carraig, the titular prison, is conceived and built by the Barath’na for the dissidents, seeing the start of their expanding role in the story.
While a secondary but no less significant arc follows Carter, a cop forced into co-operation with the Zelotyr as a Zelo-human liaison officer in the post war landscape. The main story arc follows John and Taz, two teenage friends trying to survive in a desolate and war torn Belfast, a city in despair following an alien invasion by the technologically superior and hulking Zelotyr.
Inish Carraig is a self published e-book from Jo Zebedee, author of Abendau’s Heir which is the first book of The Inheritance Trilogy recently picked up for publication by TicketyBooPress.
