Rubicon

Great characters that I became interested in right off the bat, intriguing technology being explored, a plot that moves along and not spending alot of time in the blow-by-blow of the battles.

I wonder if there's a second book planned to continue the storyline or the author wanted to end on a question. Both work for me.

When I saw that J.S. Dewes had another story coming out, I became super excited. I love scifi/fantasy/military – but I'm especially a sucker when there's a female protagonist since it's something that just didn't really exist when I was growing up. I devoured the first two books in the Divide series and had hoped Rubicon would be something to hold me over until book #3 came out. I think it did/is doing the job!

Adrienne is a force to reckon with. She never stops leaning forward in the straps. She got the short end of the stick on many, many things- but she still puts her best foot forward. It was fun seeing her adapt to her Rubicon, and even more interesting to see how her Rubicon started showing its personality. Adrienne is a badass. Plain and simple. And somewhere along the way, even after all her deaths, she was given a chance with the 505 to start feeling again, and you find yourself cheering for her.

Her squadron are a hoot with very distinct personalities. I found myself caring for them more than I thought I would for a group of side characters. Oh sweet Kato,may he forever find a random place to sleep. But when they all die [not a spoiler, the whole point of the book is about rezoning live/dying/reboot/repeat] I was really sad and couldn't believe it until a second later when I remembered they all were going to reboot into another body. Big sigh of relief.

Needless to say I'm greedy and want more of this.
