ABOUT THE BOOK YO :D

The Title of the book is The Flood, by William C. Dietz, Genre is Sci-Fi, and the question is the style of writing the author portrays. The style of writing is that of an entertainer through words, he describes things to give them a life like feeling through scientific impossibilities at the moment for the technologies we have. The author also writes for a game company, so the style is sort of a more detailed version of the campaign of the game, but it becomes more dramatic in the book giving more details and even details that were not in the book because in the game all you had was through the view of the main character, but in this it gives you another view from other viewpoints such as from the covenant and what they feel or what they hear and why are they even fighting against the humans. Because of this it gives a better insight on the storyline so you know a bit more about the other characters. Another type of style writing is that it is a bit militaristic, giving strategies, thinking procedures of what to do and what would be a good counter for each weapon, it also talks about the story in sort of logs such as “D + 58:36:31 (SPARTAN-117 Mission Clock) / Pelican Echo 419, approaching covenant arms cache” As the story is written in a logs or time check it gives  a sense of what the time period is because the style of writing is also exciting and keeps you intensified as it is literally written into a war like situation as they detail almost everything that come from the battle or war which makes it even more interesting as this means of action and sort of realistic in a sci-fi way as the humans know they have limited resources and so they can’t do anything rational such as an all out assault. Though I like how the author disengages the reality that holds onto us and then uses a whole entire new reality of a whole different world and or maybe timeline.
