SciFi Book Review: Fringe: Sins of the Father

Fringe: Sins of the Father by Christa Faust

Synopsis:
Never-before-revealed secrets of the characters, leading to the creation of the government’s covert Fringe Division.

In 2008, Peter Bishop is estranged from his father and running shady operations in Southeast Asia. His latest scam lands him in a life-or-death situation involving weird events beyond the ken of modern science. On the run, he finds himself pursued by strange specters of his past… and his future.

Review:
In this third installment in the Fringe series of backstories, we get a deeper look at what Peter was involved in before the TV show began. He was a con artist, whose latest scam gets him in trouble from more than one group of people. The author brings a lot of insight to the early characters.

Peter goes through a lot of change throughout the series, so it’s hard to remember this is where he came from. He has a good heart, but made a lot of bad decisions. And a mysterious stranger seems to be pulling strings behind the scenes along the way, adding an air of eeriness. This is another intriguing installment with plenty of suspense, mystery, and colorful characters. I would love to see this series continue with more pre-Fringe division stories.
