Search - The Enclave

The characters were interesting, and the author did an awesome job at keeping the details straight. There are twists and lots of science fiction going on, (as well as weird names I could not get past). There is some cloning going on, bad guys, and just plain weird characters (enforcers). You can feel the thrills and they keep you on the edge of your seat (or page). So, if you like sci-fi this could be the book for you. I hear this author is awesome in the sci-fi world. And I would say she is to those that are interested in this kind of story line. (copied from my full review on my blog)

What an amazing adventure I’ve just experienced reading The Enclave. I felt like I was watching a sci-fi movie as I read this book. It reminded me a little of John Grisham’s book The Firm, where this law firm kept tabs on their employees’ lives and wanted to control them in the end. It also reminded me a little bit of The Matrix, in the way things were created and operated in another world. And finally, it reminded me of Alien, and those hideous creatures and their slime.

This story was not like anything I’ve ever read. I had heard that Karen Hancock had a gift for writing science fiction and that’s what made me want to read The Enclave, in the first place. I’m happy to report that my sources were right; this book is suspenseful, imaginative, and scary (but not too scary), as she took on the topic of cloning and all its ramifications.

The author has one of her characters say this,�..Remember that just because someone holds an opinion different from your own, they must still be treated with respect.�

I think that Karen Hancock respects others opinions throughout her story. I’m not a science-fiction reader but this one drew me in and made me think about my faith. It also helped me see how to respect others I live with in this world.

Cam the geneticist says to his boss, “What do you want from me?�

“I want your mind, son. I want your heart and soul and strength…I just want your loyalty, Cameron. I want you to believe me when I say I have your very best interests at heart and trust that I know what I’m doing. And I want you to share my vision.�


I couldn’t believe that in the middle of life threatening situations, her action figures were contemplating what God would have them do next. It was great!! You just have to read this story to get the full affect. It’s hard to describe in just a few words. This book will definitely take you to most intriguing places you’ve never been before or even thought existed. All I can say about this book is what a great trip to “infinity and beyond.�

What an imagination. I really liked this book and highly recommend it to all readers, regardless of your belief. It is great fiction/fantasy. I have given several copies as gifts to friends.

This book is a bit different than her three book Legends of the Guardian-King series, which I LOVED! And is not as tightly woven as the Arena, which I really enjoyed as well.

When Lacey McHenry accepts a prestigious research fellowship at the world-renowned Kendell-Jakes Longevity Institute, she sees it as a new start on life. But a disturbing late-night encounter with an intruder leads to an unexpected cover-up by Institute authorities, and she soon realizes there's more going on than she ever imagined.
She finds a supporter in genetics researcher Cameron Reinhardt. However, Reinhardt is a favorite of the Institute's director, and she can't help wondering if he, too, is in on the cover-up. The brilliant but absentminded researcher turns out to have his own secrets, some of them dark and deadly. The Enclave is characterized by adventure, intrigue, spiritual analogy, and romance, all set in an unusual but fully realized world--one that may have its foundations on earth but which, the more one learns of it, doesn't seem much like the earth we know at all.
